La Princesse est indisposée, elle ne reçoit personne

La Princesse est indisposée, elle ne reçoit personne

2007 • 16 min
The movie is composed with a series of studies which as a whole, deal with day-to-day and solitary moments of a woman played by different actresses. I intend here to capture casual gestures which suggest a sense of uncanny, closely related to psychoanalysis, between autoerotism and the genre movie. Each movements could turn the ritual into a horror scene but remain finally in a limited state. Each daily gesture becomes part of a singular ritual, undramatical, suggesting rather than explicitely showing. The ritual in each study favors very much aestheticism and falls little by little into informal and uncertainty. The idea is that the more the gestures are structural, the more they are infamous on us. These studies function throughout fictional portraits between the main actress (who plays in three studies) and myself. They express our excessive behaviour with the existence.

Blobsquatch: In the Expanded Field

Blobsquatch: In the Expanded Field

2007 • 12 min
Cryptozoology, a field known for its inquiries into unknown creatures like the Bigfoot and Loch Ness Monster, constitutes a challenge to exclusive hierarchies of knowledge and established scientific authority by presenting alternative theories and new taxonomic models. Recently, perhaps adversely influenced by information-addiction, many Bigfoot aficionados have dismissed “blobsquatches” (photos too blurry to be discernible as sasquatches) as an impediment to serious cryptozoological research. In this paranormal polemic, scientific jargon and genre tropes of investigative documentary are short-circuited and re-wired. The Blobsquatch is engaged critically to explore spaces between information and noise, obsolescence and adaptive re-use.

Our Family

Our Family

2007 • 55 min • India
Set in Tamilnadu, India, ‘Our Family’ brings together excerpts from Nirvanam, a one person performance, by Pritham K. Chakravarthy and a family of three generations of trans-gendered female subjects, Aasha, Seetha and Dhana, who are bound together by ties of adoption. They all belong to the trans-gendered community called Aravanis (aka Hijras, in some parts of India). The film juxtaposes the ‘normality’ of their existence with the dark and powerful narrative by Pritham- ‘Nirvanam’; Nirvanam (Liberation) refers to the act of liberating oneself from the male body and transforming oneself to a female. This narrative bears witness to the tumultuous journey towards a reinvented selfhood, a journey fraught with violence, exploitation, affection and courage. The pains, pleasures and dilemmas of becoming the ‘other’ is the motif of the film. Weaving together performance, life histories and everyday life, it problematises the divides between ‘us’ and ‘them’.
