Cinétique 2011

Directed by Boris Labbé

An organic and geometric form resembling an immobile skeleton. This structure, built on the principle of the zoetrope, slowly rotates itself until reach its vibration speed. As well physical and optical principles are revealed, distorting and destroying the bodies to a chaotic abstraction for renew again. The video is built on a palindromic form, on a perpetual return to the origins, beginning and ending in a vacuum. Cinétique was inspired by optical games of pre-cinema which have the loop as fundamental physics principles and explores the concept of Eros and Thanatos : a conflict between life and death.
