Le sol ou rien.
18:07min

Part cartography (vlog), part fiction (essay) le sol ou rien. is a film that traces a formative landscape.
When splintered matter is constantly in motion, the anchors of reality hide within what is shared.
Observing becomes a quest for the borders of memory.
The emergence of melting, fusing bodies within organized solitude, the underlying rot amongst an consensual anesthetic beauty, the contours of the intimate blurred, if not absent, leave the narrator with only two points of view: above and below. Playing with the linear nature of film, a voice-over acts like a pen on paper and by drawing what lies over and under, negotiating happens pleading a floor, grounds for walking. Attempting to summon orientation within the ever-present forceful movement of time.
