VENUS.IA An exploration of beauty in the age of artificial intelligence. Inspired by Aphrodite by Praxiteles, the film is built in fragments. Bodies recombine, attempting to form a whole, mirroring an algorithmic gaze in search of harmony. Beauty may not lie in completion, but in tension, movement, and the unfinished. Exhibition FRAGMENTS



COLOREM
Colors meet, attract one another, brush past or ignore each other. Matter absorbs light; hues vibrate and resonate in response. COLOREM is a sensitive exploration of rhythm and energy. Color pigments, a journey from the cell to the multiverses. Exhibition TRENTE



LA DANSE
A free interpretation of La Danse (1910) by Henri Matisse. A study of suspended time, stillness, and impending movement. Overlays, doubles, and resonances invite the viewer to pass through the instant of pure joy offered by the experience of dance. Fonds culturel de l’Ermitage de Garches



BLACK HOLE
Starting from ice, BLACK HOLE opens into a drift through space and time. A slow, hypnotic movement opens up reality, between closeness and vertigo, absorbing the viewer like a black hole. Exhibition ON THE ROCKS



UN PEU DE ROUGE POURTANT
Inspired by a haiku by Takahama Kyoshi, the film unveils the fleeting grace of a flower’s bloom. Exhibition UN PEU DE ROUGE, POURTANT



NOIRS
At the limits of abstraction, NOIRS explores the meeting of the real and the dreamlike. Light becomes matter, pierces shadow, and sketches the invisible. An open, intuitive investigation, oriented toward what surfaces in darkness. Exhibition NOIRS



ROUGE
A color. Its nuances, its tensions, its vitality. ROUGE explores energy, emotion, and the presence of life through an intense, embodied palette. Exhibition ROUGE



POOLSIDE
A nod to The Lascaux bird‑man from the Grotte de Lascaux and to the The Reflecting Pool by Bill Viola. POOLSIDE explores reflection, suspension, and the tipping of the body, between immersion and elevation. Fonds culturel de l’Ermitage de Garches
