FILOMENA (6min, b&w/colour, HD 1080p) Experimental diptych. "Une vision d'une division". A new "cineplastic" experience by Monade Li. In her work, the artist explores the spatio-corporal resonance revealing the lights of our human condition. For Filomena, she takes up the theme covered in her first film "Diatomée", where the oneiric body, confused with the elements, fits the shape of "tense and twisted postures linking the conscious and the unconscious, the exterior and the interior"."Let's reinstall the whole body in the act of vision to make carnal density the condition of the aesthetic experience!" (Françoise Parfait): with Filomena, she places a spectator, motionless moreover, in front of a “monotonous landscape in forced mobility combined with the beauty of boredom”. Faced with a sound mist*, « Le blanc souci de notre toile » (the white marigold of our canvas ), torn and damaged. She fragments a premeditated confinement by the play of successive frames which close in on themselves. She hands us a « Rien ne se noie sans craindre son récif » (Nothing drowns without fearing its reef), a phrase extruded from Mallarmé's sonnet to make « Le squelette de l’habitude » (The skeleton of habit) resonate, this rigid skeleton which upholds the human frame**. *embodied by the music of Rudolph Moser (taken from the album "Metronia") of Einstürzende Neubauten.
