The division of objects into small point of mobile clarity gives them a paradoxical existence, which dissolves constantly at the same time as it maintains itself. These objects then radiate their own light.

Mobiles works with regulated frame movements becoming increasingly more unpredictable : a controllable, closed space, in which more random and unrestrained movement are distributed. This device allows forms to be deployed by the movement, but is still untapped by narrative film: contracting and leaking spaces, crushed signs, decomposition of movements by other movements, dripping and corpuscular choreography. Mobiles is the result of a continuous tension between abstraction and reality. The same goes for the relationship between sound and image, which echo one another.

MYTHING : our eyes always have a great number of bodies to look at. They allow themselves to be caught by them. The more the clothes are beautiful and the more they play hide-and-seek with the bodies, the more the eye is caught. Our eyes indulge in that game of picturing, beyond or through an elusive body, what is most powerful in it : its nakedness. VIDEO STRIP doesn’t tell a story. It is simply about a body that separates from its clothes – or is it the reverse ? – and disappears as mysteriously as it had appeared. The clothes are the only thing left at the end, as if they were substitutes for the body. Their crumpling is the evidence that somebody wore them. They are the signs of a moulting, of the transmutation of a female body into nothing.

In Montreuil sous Bois, in the Paris suburbs, Georges Méliès set up the world's first film studio in 1896. He built a second one in 1905. He shot more than 500 films there until 1913. In 1904, Charles Pathé built a studio a few hundred meters from there, which completed the installations in Vincennes; in 1909, he sold it to the famous producer Zecca. Later, Max Linder also came to work at the Montreuil studio. In 1920, Pathé gave up film production and sold his studio to Russian exiled filmmakers: Ermolieff, then to Alexandre Kamenka.
