Money, Version 2
Olivier Fouchard
"Capitalism is always more profit for the sake of profit, it is not a relevant idea" Nicolas REY "MONEY, VERSION 2" is an inhuman, violent and idiot video-film exactly like "liberalism" (inhuman, violent and idiot). This time, this video-film (without computer) can not merely take on to be only "amusing", "diverting" or even "interesting". The film (MONEY, VERSION 2) is first "unbearable" or even "painful", like its subject: "money", genuine golden calf of a society controlled by perverse and dangerous morons: the "capitalists" or "globalising-liberal-totalitarian» 31/01/07

Aubrac-Rushes
Olivier Fouchard
"Aubrac-Rushes is a video of re-filmed images, which we watch as if flicking through a sketchbook of drawings executed in pencil, charcoal, graphite ... These "sketches" were snatched from real life during a stay in Aubrac with Martine ROUSSET and Mahine ROUHI in January 2007. Some fragments of these promenades are also fossilized in silver photographic emulsion ... "Erratic and restless - we stumble into the shots - which search for their lost path - the broken trajectory of a nowhere landscape - the brief and obstinate rhythm of a searching gaze - a real quest: where to go from here? M. Rousset
Aubrac-Rushes
9,5 >16
Olivier Fouchard
9,5>16 is with no doubt the achievement of film researches conducted ten years ago on «rayograms» (see Man Ray's «ciné-rayogrammes») and researches on «table printing». 9,5>16 is a pure «rayogram» film, without any figurative pattern, maybe realized in «rayogram» by a experienced cameraman thanks to one or two reels, 9,5mm leader, B&W 16mm printing film (Kodak 7302 or equivalent) and with the sparkle of an empty lighter. "9,5>16" ? "9 1/2" ! It seems to me it is necessary to clarify this to avoid misunderstandings.

Le tombeau d'Aphrodite - Version 2
Olivier Fouchard
Carrion Remember the object we saw, my soul, This beautiful summer morning so sweet: At the bend of a path an infamous carrion On a bed strewn with pebbles, Legs in the air, like a lustful woman, Scorching and sweating poisons, Opened in a nonchalant and cynical way Her belly full of excitement. The sun shone on this rot, As in order to cooked to perfection, And to give back to great Nature a hundredfold Everything she had joined together ... - And yet you will be like this garbage, To this horrible infection, Star of my eyes, sun of my nature, You, my angel and my passion! Yes ! such you will be, O queen of graces, After the last rites, When you go, under the grass and the lush flowers, Mold among the bones. Amors, oh my beauty! tell the vermin Who will eat you with kisses, That I kept the divine form and essence Of my decomposed loves!

Variations colorées / Spectres
Olivier Fouchard
Few years ago (1987 - 88), I've been "victim" of chronic hallucinations. In front of the mirror, I was able to see my face distorting itself and transforming in strange creatures which, however, looks like it. Variations Colorées / Spectres (Work in progress) is one more step in my cinematographic works set about the theme of self-portrait. This one, becomes pretext to formal experimentations evolving to abstraction.
