Continuum - Film de Manon Le Roy
Continuum
De Manon Le Roy, film 2009
A woman is walking down a long corridor bordered and overlooked by a vast stretch of water. As she wanders, she is confronted by enigmatic entities, figures like sculptures, frozen as they wait and apparently indifferent to her as she moves about, as if absent... Entirely shot underwater, "Continuum" pursues the research i undertook in swimming pools up to and including an earlier film, "Preludes." total immersion is characteristic of all my work that i place at the overlap between choreography, video, film, and theater. it is based on the quest for a non-temporal space, stripped of all reference save for the slowness of this all-engulfing process, at once fluid, dense, and hieratic. My new project is characterized by immersing several bodies, like intruders, around a central figure. thus solidified in the narrow space of a long corridor, my idea is that these bodies --situated in their setting as pure objects in a plastic composition - should exude a visual sense of rootedness, like phantasmatic apparitions or vaguely recalled figures of the woman who makes her way alone, under the spell of an infinite, decelerated movement.
