Video and fanzine pursuing a questioning related to the way love is represented in experimental cinema.
Hypothesized answer to the question «Are all characters interchangeable in a love story?»

In our graphic experiments, we have tried to purify the image as much as possible by reducing the scenes to meetings of forms. Our research allows us to observe only the movements of bodies. We question what it is to be together. By disturbing with color the images of already existing films, either by erasing details or by simplifying the lines, we seek to renew these images based on the great clichés of cinema. Reducing certain shots to rotoscopy enhances the spontaneity of the bodies and the emotions felt and thus allows us to move away from the great banality of the representation of intimacy.
