"We ask me what I do to stay positive at this time. And it doesn’t change that much than usually. I play, I create personas, I imagine stuff and go in mental outlets. I stay in touch with my beloved ones.
The video is a long distance shooting with models that I love from all around the world (Peru, Abu Dhabi, Glasgow, London and Paris) Each model will play a particular action. Create a persona, dance, make bondage, play with a sword, put make up on,... Each one, in the phone create a persona who make her go out of reality to create a digital heterotopy.
The casting is only female. Because want to explore the staging of female body in digital world. So the bodies in my video will be sensual and intimist.
On social media, we share our daily life, at home, so it’s supposed to be private. Because of the lockdown, public and private are off-balanced. Because we are now mostly living in the digital world, and realize ourselves in that world to forget the physical world.
I want to stage and share this intimist and sensual body unbalanced by our new daily life.
The video is shot by FaceTime and filmed with an Ipad. This creative constaint is like a game. So I film the screen, rework the rushes with editing and color grading. The spectator enter in my playground, in a digital time and in a fleshy time!
The track SGSY by OKLOU is refreshing and full of emotions and match perfectly wit the video.
You will also find a link to a fund of supporting young LGBT+. The video is also an opportunity to support the association Le Refuge, which hosts and supports young LGBT + people rejected by their parents, chased from their family home because they are homosexual, trans or in questioning of identity."
