Bassin d'attraction 2022 Directed by Jonathan Pêpe
The film questions the sacred relationship to objects and the different statuses conferred on them throughout their lives. Precious objects - votive offerings from the National Etruscan Museum in Villa Giulia - ornaments from churches or Roman sculptures, as well as contemporary detritus come together and evolve together in a kind of amniotic fluid. Usually inert forms have evolved into autonomous creatures: these composite beings interact, gesticulate, attract each other, react. By adopting the point of view of objects, by infusing them with a dose of desire, by giving them a semblance of soul, the artist reconsiders the border between the living and the non-living.
