Les images parfaites

Given my interests in hypnosis techniques I immediately noticed the similarities with that I've been asking to my models to do when we are face to face to stare at me blankly. Focused on their attempts to refrain from blinking as a starting point, I ask myself if hypnosis could help me to create these images I find so fascinating.

Director's Biography

After studying at the Cergy Pontoise National School of Art, Béatrice Plumet is interested in several forms of narrations, and alternates fictions, video art and documentary.

She started series of snapshots shown in various places of exhibitions with a device acting like mirrors in 2009 and it is the origin of the film Immobiles. The Hors-Piste Festival proposed her a solo-show at the Pompidou Center. The images produced with the complicity of the spectators in the cinema gave rise to the film Les images parfaites (2016).

Chroniques impatientes, an autofiction, questions the abstraction through the history of an organ donation and follows the first part of the story, Capture mode, realized in 2010.
