Description

Elle is a stop-motion animation in which we see a string enter the frame forming the loops of the four letters of the word “elle” (the French word for “she”). The two L’s then separate to form a winged butterfly-shape that then seems to fly out of the frame. The video was shot in the artist’s Montréal living room using the natural light coming in the window, as a result we can see the shadows of moving trees and hear the ambient sounds of the city and birds.

It is one of three videos in the Sweet Nothings / Petits riens video triptych.
