“ Voie sans issue #2 ” / " Dead End #2 " is a 3D animated sequence shot which very slowly distils different elements making a form of mythology. A collection of ordinary, decorative objects is put together. A subjective camera invites the viewer to walk through several rooms in succession, where various mysterious events are taking place. They are sorts of three-dimensional still lifes, somewhere between memorial, theatre sets, and a museum. For me, this work represents an attempt to organize part of the unconscious chaos (collective and personal unconscious) in which major and minor histories intermingle. These composite pieces, which have the function of vanitas still lifes, are kept an eye on by a sort of archivist in pyjamas who looks as if he is capable of acting on the elements around him. Here, I am trying to stage certain mechanisms of memory and, in particular, those which occur during our sleep: dreams/nightmares, things buried, revelations.
