Cairn

Meanderings through a city and associations between sequences of animals enclosed in zoos and their depiction in furniture and objects. Notes on language customs, confinement, abnormal behaviour, nostalgia for savagery, a museum of natural history and male-female relations. Filmed in Super 8 and video, this tape was produced after the famous case of a Japanese cannibal that rocked the Parisian media.

A walk within a place which possesses its own rhythm, in the heart of the city: the garden. A dream amongst the trees, children, birds and strollers. Like mental images of the dreamer, fishermen watch over these scenes. A line links them to the mysterious world where fish evolve. This video was filmed in October 1984, at the Saint-Mandé Park, and contains images taken at the Trocadero Aquarium.

Pauline has a daydream inspired by Manet's paintings. The point of view of painting, and the question of the movement. Close-ups of Pauline, quiet, laughing or serious. Her voice in Paris, her accent, the music she listens to. The sounds of her house, and of her life being led. At a distance.
