L'Herbe à Couteau
InfoProject

This video opens with a reading of lines from Blaise Cendrars’ Bourlinguer, evoking the silver ribbons of foil dropped by planes to jam radar during World War II. This haunting image—a mystical cloud of silvery streamers drifting over bombed cities—serves as the conceptual source for the piece. Fragments of encrypted wartime radio transmissions echo in response to this cloud, blending the tangible and the ephemeral.

These initial references dissolve in the final piece, unfolding into a new narrative within a closed and enigmatic setting, presented as a two-channel video installation. On one screen, three characters drift within an ambiguous space—a timeless bar—trapped in repetitive tics and a cyclical "choreography" that keeps them from grounding in reality. On the other screen, a young girl wanders through a natural landscape, vulnerable to its rhythms and forces.

This work juxtaposes these two worlds in dialogue, exploring themes of memory, displacement, and the surreal entanglements between history and the present.
