Four rolls of 16mm film were patiently exposed frame by frame over the course of a stay on Ouessant Island in Brittany. Observation of nature and its phenomena is paired with formal experimentation, altering our perception of the real.

In this film David Dudouit reworks some Super8 images filmed on the île de Sein. Using an optical printer he compose three paintings in black and white of a blazing beauty.

Île de Sein

David Dudouit

These are super8 images filmed on Sein Island, later blown up to 16mm. Using an approach that could be considered ethnographic, David Dudouit commits to showing us the everyday life of the island and its inhabitants. As the days repeat, the filmmaker sometimes returns to the same places filmed the day before. As a result of the frame-by-frame shooting method, time becomes compressed, and the rhythm of the film pulls us into a kind of trance.
