Ecce Angelus

Ecce Angelus

2025 · 7 min

Long slides of images and sounds reveal the subtle mysteries of a forgotten Eros embodied by Aloual, the fetish actor. A captivating profane ceremony where drawings, photos, objects, assemblages, paintings and fragments of films interpenetrate in strange hybridizations. Slides between digital and film that also cross the territories of Thanatos to resurface in the energy of a wild and joyful dance.

Sustained by bandages, half floating in the airs, arrowed by glances, this St-Sebastian is the heart of a ritual who combine plastic beauty, Chrisitc's dolor and pagan's voluptuous pleasures.

Movie
The first series of a film whose course is in parallel with the life of the author. Unlike a newspaper, however, any realistic, everyday element is excluded. Only one theme will carry through the whole work: the expectation of death, its presence at every moment of life, the inexorable advance of time which, hour after hour, day after day, season after season, marks every face, every body transforms every look, invests every place in its light, its forms, its colors, asserts itself in the face of what man believes eternal: the ebb and flow of the sea, the mass of rocks, their stone works.

Movie
Dansité is the visualization, in cinematic space and time, of two bodies in motion; mobile, immobile, intertwined, broken, tense, restrained, suspended between heaven and earth, sand and rock, they suddenly stop, fixing the eternity of the moment.

Movie
The film has been imagined in 1976 and realised in 1980. The idea was highlighting the depth of field throught the cinematic focus. The idea was also that in commercial movies the middle-distances are always blurred, sacrified, not seen, for the advantage of the focused foreground, tool of the narration.
