Stuart Pound's films are the subject of a first solo exhibition at Espace Croisé. His recent works are made from DVD images appropriations of well-known Hollywood films found in charity shops in London. The three videos Chase (2012), Shooting and Run Loops (2013), designed from science fiction movies or action movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger turn vertical what was initially horizontal. They compile image strips and intensify their pace by creating a new visual score close to abstraction. The soundtrack is split with the moving image and creates an intense reverb effect.

The form of other works depend on their music. In Hopeless, 2014, the music of the group Evangelista is associated to redrawn images from the film by Georg Wilhelm Pabst, Loulou (Die Büchse der Pandora / Pandora's box), a love story without hope for the actress Louise Brooks released in 1929. Vampire bat, 2014, with another piece by Evangelista, reformulates the images of Nosferatu by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, 1922, in which Max Schreck stars. In Postcard, 2009 - an erotic postcard from the early twentieth century is used for an animation that reveals a young woman posing next to a mirror. In this work of appropriation, she embodies Chloris (Greek mythology nymph whose name comes from chloros - green), sought in the soundtrack, French music, composed at the same time by Reynaldo Hahn. Changes in the song of the tone materialize through a purple wave that moves and grows, embodying the link between image and sound and giving a contemporary twist to these agreements made possible by technology.

Stuart Pound has also recycled images of his own films and videos. A woman from the past, much loved, 2012 - talk to anyone who shares this now almost fetishistic love of film. Film fragments of black and white 16 mm are viewed with a microscope connected to a computer screen. In fact, the film support itself - in this slow optical scanning - is appreciated far more than women, the subject. Grandmother is a Crab, 2013 - recently featured in the exhibition "dark shop" has been designed with a poem by Rosemary Norman. It borrows from an earlier video images from a commercial for a travel agency broadcasted on television. The black and white and mirror effects retrieve images of their time and gives them all at once brightness and distance. Voiceover and subtitles from the poem introduce the magic of the world of a child at the beach.
