Le systeme des Objets, Jean Baudrillard

"Fort de ces analyses, Baudrillard propose une conclusion d’une grande force analytique et conceptuelle : l’ensemble des analyses ont porté sur le rapport à l’objet et non sur l’objet lui-même : à bien y regarder, Baudrillard s’est tenu à ce programme initial, dans la mesure où la publicité, le crédit, l’atmosphère, etc., constituent bien une relation entre personnes et objets, et non un symbolisme intrinsèque de l’objet ; on pourrait dire que cet ouvrage de Baudrillard n’a qu’un dessein : comprendre comment l’homme entre en relation avec l’objet, et surtout comment la société de consommation instaure un rapport tout à fait particulier, incitant à rentrer en relation avec une quantité sans cesse croissante d’objets. Le coup de force conceptuel de Baudrillard, en conclusion de cet ouvrage, consiste à penser la subsumption de la relation elle-même sous le mouvement général de la consommation : autrement dit, la relation à l’objet se trouve elle-même prise dans le mouvement général consumériste analysé, si bien que la relation « se consomme », au sens de « s’achève », et dans cet achèvement se trouve la source du besoin sans cesse renaissant et croissant de la reproduction du mouvement consumériste."

1x3 Project

1x3 is the first short movie.
I chose to experiment the concept in a neutral environment to focus the improvisation on the relationship subject/object
The performers discovered the score when they arrived in the studio.
They brought a personal object and improvised with specific directions.
The cameraman also had his own directions and improvised following the movements playing with different angles and perspectives of the subjects/objects!




2x3 Project

2x3 is the second short movie of the series.
After the first experimentation (1x3), I have added a specific context to develop the concept.
I chose a structured space, defined and useful as an object, a Bus Stop.
I expanded the concept with more complex relationships: human/object, and human/object/human.
I asked the performers to play with these parameters: space, object, subject.
We prepared the shooting with one rehearsal in a studio and in a bus stop.
The cameramen shot wide and “wild” angles mostly improvised to enhance the concept.
