Patiens litore (slow beach)
“It takes the sea an hour to withdraw from your soul.” A withdrawal, an explosive-fix, a path to the origin, barely perceptible and yet inexorable.
The vocation of this audiovisual object is rather to be exposed than watched in the usual sense of the term. If it is projected in a loop in a space that one traverses, it will lead to the astonishment, to the strange observation that it moved whereas one has difficulty in perceiving its movement.

The “experimental cinema” is a practice of audiovisual creation which explores the audiovisual forms and their artistic devices, of creation and diffusion. We make films, installations, performances. The stake is not to “tell a story”, but to make and share art, in the pure sense of the term, such as it is considered in the field of contemporary art.
I propose you here experiments, explorations, adventures, attempts, inspiring I hope.
