Les Brigittines

Positioned at the centre of a video fresco where their image multiplies and shatters, two women immerse themselves in a collection of moods and thoughts, of flashes and seizures where quotations, impregnations of other universes, samples of sound and video, improvisations, bugs, etc. both mix and intermingle.

The women seem attuned to the frequencies of the works that inspired them (Marguerite Duras, Chantal Akerman, Maya Deren...) and from which they draw a new, original proposal, somewhere between the nightmare and reverie.

Using their skilful nonchalance and inventive relationship to sound and image, Priscilla Guy and Catherine Lavoie-Marcus construct an endearing presence that simultaneously imposes itself and casts doubt on itself. The ruptures and superimpositions provide naturalness and a quirkiness that is constantly reinforced by humour.
