In 2000, I designed a series of 12 films to be broadcasted in loops in different precise ways. “2D” Aesthetics of these purely plastic and infographic films is set in relation to the fact that the television screens at the time have lost their depth.

The musical tracks of the movies are also avalaible.

If there was a personal theme in this film, it should be filling a form, the body. The paradigm shift made by digital on this question of fullness : everything is overflow.
