L'autre monde is an experimental video based on a found Super8 material -
thus the piece is called 'The other's world'. The title through the phonetical
similitude also refers to the French pre-surrealistic poet Lautreamonte whose
statement about a special category of esthetics became well-known and overquoted
in the first decades of our century: '...it is as beautiful as the encounter
of a sewing machine and an umbrella upon the operation desk...' The piece
is an attempt to establish a connection between the frame and sequence, gesture
and image, material and its effect in the technical environment of our fin
de siècle.
