For contemplative cinema

A series of contemplative films made as part of an artistic collaboration between Maëlla Mickaëlle, Jean-Philippe Poirée-Ville and Benoît Labourdette.


You have to get lost between a meadow of phragmites and marshes to discover this place offered to the curious. The different facets of this garden inspired these improvised choreographic walks.

This unique garden is a work of art. It’s a natural space that the landscape designer Jean-Philippe Poirée-Ville has built over twenty years, echoing his thoughts on the world being transformed by technology, in connection with the sky rather than the earth. He sees himself as a descendant of the philosopher Paul Virilio, with whom we have each collaborated. Maëlla Mickaëlle is a multi-disciplinary artist who has often danced in Jean-Philippe Poirée-Ville’s gardens. These films are the result of a three-way dance: the place, the body and the musical gaze.
