Screening in the LAB

Marion Elluin-Dunand is a photographer and visual artist working with video. She holds a master’s degree in Artistic Creation, Research and Art World Practice. Her work explores the in-between, the ephemeral and the fragmentary through a visual and reflective approach. Her video Sans-titre (2022, 5 min 39 sec, 1080p, looped), shown as a projection or on a screen, is based on footage of insects flying near Lake Montbel in Ariège. She layers more than thirty copies of the same sequence, each offset by a millisecond, to make the insects’ imperceptible movements visible.
