Portrait mariage begins and ends with a textile motif. A pattern of ribbons on a damask tablecloth becomes a broad network extending into the depth of the image. Guests are gathering for the wedding of friends. A picture of relationships shines through the smallest of gestures. Single details and movements are brought together and become part of the coloured and transparent film space. The rite of passage is superimposed upon landscape textures and moments of preparation. The image as a precious border displays visible surfaces while also preserving an interior of bodies and spaces left open to the imagination. The sequences condense spontaneous recordings into metaphoric clusters.
