Film
Nature is a creator of wonderfully poetic coincidences. Here, I wanted to highlight one of its forms that is often considered undesirable: animal hair. Its surprising character means that it is sometimes admired, sometimes hunted. When it is attached to the body, it is a seductive ornament; when detached, it is undesirable and repulsive. In this film, conceived as a fable, fur flies free and becomes a form of total art, imposing itself on and taking possession of its surroundings. Into this villa made of lines, the hair breathes a form of free poetry; the mouthpiece of the so-called wild world.
Éléonore Geissler
Born in 1992 in Paris, where she lives and works, Éléonore Geissler is a multimedia video artist who graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2017 and from the École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris (with distinction) in 2018. Her work is based on drawings whose black humour she uses as a starting point for the researches in her videos. Oscillating between installation and film format, she employs a variety of live film and animation techniques: when it comes to tricking the viewer’s eye, it seems, anything goes.
