RED EARTH BLACK EARTH by Agnès Perrais
Four motifs of an insular landscape: dunes, grass, stormy skies, sea. These motifs are inflected and intertwined through various photochemical operations: successive printing generations, flat printing, bipacking, and chemical toning; unsettling the steady, desolate shots to create an imaginary landscape where elements and matter meet.
Agnès Perrais (Paris, 1987) is a member of artist-run film laboratories L'Etna and L'Abominable/Navire Argo. As part of a varied artistic practice (including collage and rayograms), she develops her cinematographic work at the intersection between the political and the imaginary, working with both documentary and short experimental forms.
