Doves 1936, 2007
Black and white video, silent.
In this ten seconds video, doves from Snow White are composited onto a scene from the movie Olympia, showing the release of doves at the opening ceremony of 1936 Berlin Olympics. Both movies are contemporary (1936), and had interwoven destinies. Riefensthal and Disney were very respectful of each other’s work, and Hitler a devout fan of Mickey.

Ghost (holy), 2006
Permanent vidéo for projection, color, silent (CG).
Voile de Véronique sans image, cette toile-écran fantomatique (double référence à la peinture et au cinéma) se situe à l'interface du motif et du support. La vidéo évoque par ailleurs l'image populaire du fantôme (sous son drap blanc) et en a - tel un linceul - les proportions (celles d'un corps). Cependant, animée de façon surnaturelle, l'étoffe n'habille plus ici une présence désincarnée mais incarne bien, de par sa matière et son mouvement, une présence.
Phoenix, 2000
Permanent video (DVD). Monitor on pedestal. Black and white, silent.
The video is based on an excerpt from a Nazi propaganda film showing a Hitler Youth torchlight meeting. It shows the dramatically lit, close-up faces of several young men standing to attention, facing the viewer. In the background, one can make out the flickering motion of a flame and the smoke rising from it. The scene is perfectly looped, strengthening the image of the eternal torch.
Shown on a pedestal so the faces are roughly at the same height as a standing adult, the video has the disquieting presence of a sentry.
