Rozenn Nobilet Archive (Kran Film Collective)
Rozenn Nobilet lives and works in Paris. From 1992 to 1995, she studied at St. Martin’s College of Art and Design in London, before obtaining a Master’s in Electronic Imaging from The School of Television and Imaging in Dundee, Scotland in 1997. She started off as a make-up artist for fashion, cinema and the theatre before working as a camerawoman. Since 1994 she has directed several films and art installations. Her work as a filmmaker and artist owes its unique style to her research on writing, as well as everything from documentary filmmaking to video installations. This language she’s assembled allows the public to be directly involved in the representation of cinematographic readings that mix different genres and styles, used as allegories.
“What if my right hand didn’t know what my left hand is doing.”
This quotation from Bill Viola instantly inspired me . I wanted to make a video where I could explore my dyslexia abilities. It’s synchronised on a two screens video installation. The video which is presented here is a re – assembled version which shows the two screens.
A picture with rhythm. It explores the cinematic mechanism through the body language leading to the circle of life. This succession of frames is close to the portrait art. Within a few minutes, Rozenn Nobilet, takes us to the origins of cinema, the cinematic art. This short movie reminds us the chronophotography of Muybridge and the praxinoscope of Emile Raynaud, the motion capturing devise that enabled the birth of cinema. « I MOTION » can already join the league of experimental cinema as a classic.
« A bang, with Rozenn Nobilet’s film “I Motion.” »
David Finkelstein _Film Threat – September 2005
“I-Motion by Rozenn Nobilet is a rhythmic work that puts in parallel the body and the art forms of cinema.”
