Entrance 129
Enter somewhere. Not so simple...
The spaces of human movement, their signs, their geography, their languages, their naming protocols. Sometimes familiar, sometimes strangers, depending on our point of view. A single entrance can harbor a huge mystery, a symbolism that eludes to us.

The kaleidoscope, a figure made up of mirrored replications of the same image, offers a very “organic” vision of things. Like a visual metaphor for cell division, it opens up a realm of perceptions and emotions far beyond the mere decoration it might at first appear to embody. This figure, very rare in films, has always questioned me, which is why I’ve been exploring it in film for a long time.
It’s been a nice surprise to see animated kaleidoscopes flourishing on screens over the last four or five years, in film and series credits in particular. I invite you to read the manifesto text on the practice of animated kaleidoscopes, which I wrote ten years ago, in 2014: « Thinking about moving kaleidoscope image ».
