Presentation of the course :
Instructor : Jason Karaindros
These works come from the video course taught in the second year, and were produced by the class of 2022/23, currently in their third year. The course combines theory and practice, exposing students to a variety of multimedia works, from the 60s to the present day. The projects, created in response to open-ended topics, are critiqued and shared within the class, with selections presented in exhibitions in Rouen and other cities.
Poids de la valeur (Weighing values) | Hyunseok Yoon | 2022 | 3’17
This video explores a difficult choice: the last days of a person who has chosen suicide or the value of art. We should think deeply about the relationship between art and human life, and ask ourselves which value is more important.
Monsieur petit bonhomme s’en va cueillir des pommes (The little man goes apple picking) | Lola-Rosetta Lesain | 2022 | 0’42
Autumn has reminded me why I can’t stand the smell of apple pies. A seasonal tragedy that comes back to me in a flash.
MOMMY, as long as you stay outside, everything will be fine | Lisa Sahores | 2022 | 3’21
It’s a letter to the outside world, because a being is born trapped in a womb of ruins. How to open doors? How to show, through the membrane of the screen, the possible way out of confinement? It presents itself as an open skin, showing what’s inside out and what we’re trying to escape from.
La Veine (The Vein) | Citlali Honore | 2023 | 0’35
Parasitic vessels, fake presence? Stringy entanglement, you block me, mock me, imprison me. Confusing feeling. You suffocate me, take my place, speak without my knowledge, monopolize my consciousness. Cluttering thoughts, burgeoning melody, fake presence? Phony? FAC-TICE… Fake because you’re leaving just as you came. Your hold has ended, and you leave me. You leave me without understanding. What were you? Unanswered question. Shocked perception, afflictive impressionism, hammered poetry, guiding my words, my thoughts. Scarred memories and afflictive dreams.
Spider-Man : Clair-Obscur (Chiaroscuro) | Nino Le Cauchois | 2022-23 | 1’54
This video is an example of the reuse of the superhero figure, in particular that of Spider-Man, which is important to me. I reuse this image while breaking away from the genre’s usual codes and narrative framework.
Enfants des grottes (Cave Children) | Jules Chanut | 2022 | 1’51
Cave Children is a series of digital collages (photos/videos) of AI-generated images and videos taken from digital media. The foreground shots are fixed, (AI images) and the background shots are in motion. After cropping and superimposition, a visual and sound composition is created. This series of digital collages deals with the relationship between childhood and the trivialization of memorable videos through the media.
Les ciseaux (Scissors) | Mikang Choi | 2022 | 1’45
The poem I wrote based on a memory I once had of wanting to commit suicide at sea:
Falling into darkness while balancing
clenched hands and disoriented feet in the black mist
the air is like shards of glass, knocking me over
preventing me from getting up
and the pain that stabs my flesh lifts my blood
I get used to the dark
looking for direction
sooner or later I open my eyes
La colère des doigts (Angry fingers) | Floryan Caillot | 2023 | 1’45
The idea was to play with an optical object that would alter reality by distorting it. We see fingers that seem to want to grasp this object that we can’t identify. The fingers suddenly become angry and create a percussive rhythm. It’s a strange, offbeat proposition.
TIGHT GRIP | Léna Sierka | 2023 | 1’19
This video is an experiment that transposes my multi-medium work into video. I combine material and immaterial collage techniques, drawing, video, photography, and written expression into an intuitive, almost automatic process. The result is an accumulation of fast-paced animations.
Rêve (Dream) | Menting Wang | 2022 | 2’11
This video is a representation of my dream using C4D technology. We danced in the frame, as if in a dream.
