Mountain Maker

2008 • 51 min • Brazil

A journey into the interior of garbage, contemplated as a phenomenon of the human spirit, and not only as a product of human action. This essay-documentary, inspired by modern chaos theory, transits between the reality of statements and the surrealism of poetic images, seeking to integrate the conscious and unconscious life of the human mind. Apparently simple phenomena hide very complex behaviors. Maybe garbage is all that we don't want to see

Madness in Four Actions

2008 • 9 min

This video was made to talk about abuse in psychiatry, which I experienced in Montreal. However I chose to let others words explain my feelings on the topic. The visuals are recontextualized shots from The Miracle Worker, starring Patty Duke as Helen Keller. Patty Duke went on to develop bipolar disorder, like me. The main sound used in this video is from the radio emissions captured by the Cassini space probe from Saturn.

Children’s Game #4: Elastic

2008 • 8 min • France

Close-up on shiny boots, knotted elastic, cobbles. Within the confines of a courtyard two demure little girls are playing a game of confinement, entrapment, escape. An elastic band has been stretched into a rectangle around four points –the legs of one girl and of a chair. At first the rectangle is positioned close to the ground. Silent with concentration, the girls take turns bracing the elastic and performing a prescribed sequence of jumps on and around the tensed bands. Ankles are entangled and then jump free. As the elastic rises higher, more and more of the body is involved in skilful contortions and athletic, perilous choreography. There’s no ultimate winning, just getting better at the dance.

Children’s Game #3: Coins

2008 • 3 min • Mexico

We see three kids from behind, standing at a set distance from a peeling, whitewashed wall. The rule is that each player throws a coin against the wall, that drops and rolls back on the pavement; the player whose coin remains the closest to the wall can keep the other players’ coins. As we watch, though, the coins tinkle everywhere, several flung by each player, further multiplied by their shadows, after which all three rush forward to scoop up loot, seemingly at random and yet without disagreements.

Broken Horizon

2008 • 5 min • Netherlands

From a sea full of icebergs tinkling rising green hills. Winding roads and a forest of scaffolding overgrow the virgin landscape. There stands the city, dark and unapproachable. But when night falls and the lights turn on, the water returns. Manufacturability is overtaken by transformation.
