Intentions:

“Genêt” is a movie in which movement in architecture is emphasized. The  movie follows the path  of   light throughout the  day  and  the  quest of a  man  and  a  woman  in a  contemporary building located in the  south  of brussels. More than a romantic movie, it is a story whereby light acts as the ink. A story guided by nature and the architectural environment.

In front of the camera, two dancers are faced with the constraints of the space, sometimes limited by the outside world, sometimes open towards the garden and trees the dancers develop a connection with the void, air and   materials. We can hear them breathing, the rustling nature, the sound of a closing blind. The dancers become the house.

They blend in in the surrounding in which they are moving. It relates to cézanne’s enigma: “the absent man, however, merged into the surrounding”. This is also the quest pursued in the movie “genêt”, dancing and architecture: rediscovering the beauty in man and nature.
