photographic, self-animated online project, 2008
(sans femme et sans aviateur) follows main locations from Eric
Rohmer's film La femme de l'aviateur in an homage to the film-maker
and to the surprises of an ad hoc mode of work. The work shows scenes from
Paris in 2007, happened upon by chance and guided by a film shot 25 years
earlier. The work consists of four chapters, and lasts about 6.30mins
with a fast connection. At the end, the browser will revert back the
usual viewing mode.
