Meet the drawing of small nation on the pavement.
Ants drawn
The cities are full of small characters drawn in their nooks and crannies, which are often signs of rules to follow. You can watch these little people for what they mean, but you can also choose to play with them. They then reveal malicious partners and full of surprises.

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 ».
