Test

Test is a multi-screen work using three animated sequences, a person, a teddy bear and the word TEST, whose synchronicity is continually being broken by the destruction of a tower block.

waste(d)ground + fleurs

The vacant lot understood as the irruption in an ordered system of a dissonance (...) The d added to the wasteground - correct term - constitutes a kind of neologism which could be translated by “a devastated, damaged ground, even before d 'have served'! This is where the idea of ​​destruction is translated... by war, disease, etc.

Start

The film is not only a nod to Lettrist and Structuralite films in terms of its form and content; It was while thinking of the Flux Films series initiated by George Maciunas that the original idea for this film came to me. It had to be short, concise and in black and white. I had for some time had a fascination with the figures, the accounts and the texts used for the production of the credits made on ban-titles and which, after several generations take a slight overexposure. The film was set up with the references it actually generated.

La West Highland Way / Highlands / Dennistoun Série - Le Genius Loci D'écosse

Scotland has a reputation for not only being a very beautiful country, but also for being a poor country, the poorest in the UK along with Ulster.

Festung Europa - Shifting peripheries

Commissioned by Lux Europae in 1992. Shot in Berlin, a city whose borders were formed and defined by the political and historical climate of post-war Germany. This film has no narrative, it is a journey throuth the city using the 'jump-cut' and 'cinematic time' to move from the past to the present and the present to the past. Trains, airplanes and pesdestrians now move freely through what was a 'divided' city. This film was originally projected onto a shop window in an Edinburgh street in December as part of a Lght Festival celebrating the European Summit in 1992.
