 Thank you Hello. Yeah, in the show I'm Presenting a video called une noire a walnut. It's one of the first video works. I made ten years ago and I had started a series of these very short films After childhood memories or everyday life events and very mundane things and I wanted to write scripts From these memories and that's what I did with a une noire actually It's very simple. I don't know if you all saw it yet, but it's a little girl Singing a song and her grandmother is recording and she's trying to help her and All the time she's interrupting the song and the little girl gets really Pista off and she says stop it and things like that and I First wrote the script and then I had to find actors. I really wanted to Work with professional actors because for me it was important that the film didn't look like something a Matter or you know made at home with friends and people laughing in front of the camera I really wanted to be serious with the people and so I I look for an actress. I saw her in a film and I found her address through another person and the little girl was a friend's daughter and They had to learn the text before and the first time they met was at home when we Were supposed to shoot the film so it was very bizarre because the little girl was so comfortable And the actress was really I think intimidated by her and I guess we Resumed 10 or 12 times and that was it so it was like two hours work maybe and We shot in my place. It was at the time. I was living in a studio in the center of Paris. It was really small So nothing spectacular really and I made a series of these Kind of short films like this one. We are going to watch it with one or two characters and always After a short script I had written before and actors were supposed to learn the text and Sometimes it was like this a monologue. So very frontal and So let me maybe show you this one. It's called just Lynn. We came to the restaurant He wanted to accompany me. That's how I brought her home. We sat on the edge of the bed He started hugging me. I pinched myself to turn off the lamp He took off his clothes. I turned around to do the same We each had a slip under the wire. He started hugging me again By moving his tongue in all directions I couldn't close my mouth. He had a big tongue that he was turning very fast I couldn't move anymore. While hugging him, he started to pinch me He was doing regular rotating movements with one hand. At the end of a moment, he left his left hand to the right and he started to get in the way He seemed to be enjoying it a lot Then he put his hand between my thighs and he frayed vigorously from the bottom Seeing that I was doing the grimace, he said it was pleasant and he put his index on with frenzy I felt tingling Then he leaned on me and he started to do the waves more and more fast It was a mechanical rhythm. He seemed totally absorbed It was a sort of groaning at a frequency of about one per second I don't know how long it took He started to groin more and more Suddenly, he was in a rush He stayed there, like that He was sweating a lot He hugged me on his mouth, by taking off He was lying next to me Suddenly, I heard the quiver The idea was, of course, to take all these little stories, memories, everyday life things and to turn them into something absurd, comic, sometimes cruel I guess all this series is kind of a list of all the situations where we are not really telling important things but just trying to be together in the social ways like when people ask, so, how are you today, and things like that I made a lot of videos with these kind of situations For example, a guy coming back from holidays and telling two or three times exactly the same things to different persons Oh, yeah, the weather was nice and blah, blah, blah Just also because sometimes I, myself, were through these situations and I found them so ridiculous but at the same time, I guess it's always like this and so I wanted to make fun of this but not only fun, like something we all share So, and about the simplicity of the frame and the shot I wanted to have a single shot of film because the dialogues or monologues were supposed to last two minutes There weren't really stories or it were just moments like this so I guess it was the best way to make the film not having effects or moving a camera, things like that just, you know, a steady frame and just one or two characters or three sometimes around the table A lot of them are around the table and after these, I started to work slightly differently but for example, for this film, Justine I had asked the actress to, as an indication, a play indication imagine that you are in a police station and that you are giving a report of what happened to you and because I wanted something slightly shifted between the text and the story which is really pathetic and something really sober, a little detached of the content and so that was the purpose of this film, for example I don't know if you have any questions or maybe the best is to ask them in front of the work Une Noire You're welcome
