The atomic clock stopped at 10 hours to the power of –23: a star has cooled to the point of extinction, a neutrino has collided with an atom, 8,000 people have joined together to have a party, a couple has split up, a woman has been reborn from the shadows
The machine sees everything. The thermal radiation of bodies, the red aura of memories. It knows every place, every story, every image. How do you talk about chance occurrences? How do you make what doesn’t speak, speak?
Louise Ernandez was born in Toulouse in 1988. A graduate of the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains, her films explore the dynamics between order and disorder, mixing documentary and fiction to probe the impact of technology on identity. Her work seeks to capture the strangeness and poetry of transitions, creating narratives that resonate with contemporary issues of globalisation and isolation.
