Between land, sea and sky, I follow the water, an offering in my hands... In this psycho-geographical movement at the border of the natural world and that of men, I seek to experience, to metaphorically resonate with this adage from the Middle Ages, between threat and protection. In this performed film, I question the significant function of my plastic elements* in this experience of reality. Between the theatrical instinct of the imagination and the animal instinct of adaptation, I strive to find a fair balance between the authentic character of my performance and the simulacrum of my dramaturgical writing. The sound work is based on this same postulate but it also represents the intangible dimension of this experience that the video tool cannot capture. The film was entirely produced in iphonography (images and sound recording) to respond to “on the spot” work oscillating between sensitive perception and the search for plausibility that the optimized miniaturization of the camera/sound object of smartphones can offer.
