L'irréversible chapître d'un roman 3 dimensionnel
Cécile Fontaine
As the title reveals it, this film belongs to a larger multi media project imagined by the artist filmaker Maurice Lemaître, around the theme of the irreversible. Besides the requirement of shooting at the exhibition site of part two of the same project by Hélène Richol, I was free to respond to the concept as I felt it; and according to my usual way of working, I played with materiality of the original footage, manipulating it to its point of no return. By the same time I was also to turn over the meaning of the word, the irreversible became reversible through the flipping of the emulsion right to left, top to bottom, front to back.

Holy Woods
Cécile Fontaine
A young woman watches a man having a nap under the trees, and gets ready to paint. Trees are cut one after another by vigorous loggers. Insects stand motionless or crawl everywhere. All those are interlaced with more fleeting images that anyone could see or not.
