Jeannie Brie invokes images picking from her video library preproduced. She mixes extracts of her digitized familly tapes to the animated drawings searching effects of matter and texture. Video loops are edited and mixed with reloops, superimpositions and feedbacks with a slow and progressive dynamic. Like an ongoing dream. Thanks to repetitions, overprints and distortions the previous image is constantly reinterpreted giving the sensation of a construction of mental images in real time.
The sound of archival videos punctuates the sound of Théo Strauss. He mixes synthesizer loops and audio archives on cassettes with the help of analog effects racks. The sound design focuses on a work of timbre and spatialization , of stretching and and buzzing of the sound. In echo to the image, repetition is largely used to bring towards a certain state of sedation and hypnosis in order to better extirpate oneself from one’s environment and to invoke reverie.
