Historia

Based on his drawing activity, Boris Labbé's work is characterized by hybridization, combining the use of digital moving image techniques with those specific to animated film. This approach, somewhere between tradition and innovation, forms an original and vibrant language, prone to improvisation and the calculation of probabilities, questioning the problems of representation, the relationship between painting and cinema, between music and dance, between the body and animals, plants and minerals. His videos tend to break out of the spatio-temporal framework imposed by classical cinema; governed by the notion of expanded cinema, his works are not only destined for projection in the movie theater, but also tend towards other forms, notably installations. Boris Labbé creates a cinema without direct shooting, without actors, without characters, without dialogue, and whose narration, often dilated, remains open to the spectator’s interpretation. This apparent minimalism paves the way to maximums, with each project seeking its culmination until a certain form of depletion of the cinematic means deployed. Boris Labbé’s work forms a cinema of multiplicity. Repetition, re-presentation, collages, patterns, metamorphoses, perpetual movement, as well as constant citations of art history, literature and philosophy, have all become essential resources of his audiovisual language.

Rhizome

Desde lo infinitamente pequeño hasta lo infinitamente grande, todas las cosas en el universo están conectadas estrechamente entre ellas, e interactúan y se recomponen en una combinación de movimiento, en una metamorfosis perpetua.

Dance Macabre
Director
Audiovisual installation (loop), triptych with 3 synchronized HD video projections, 5.1 surround sound Enclosed in a spherical world we travel simultaneously in three different points both models, but miniature and gigantic at the same time. The scenes represented by the model are ghostly and immobile vestiges of the medieval iconography which are deformed, transformed and destroyed to finally reborn. The meeting of three disproportionates human skulls, vanities, triggers perturbation up to chaos. Skeletons dance to announce this change. A cycle of continual construction and deconstruction takes place.

Mono No Aware
Director
This project is developing around Japanese art history and literature references (The Fukinuki Yatai, The Tale of Genji, The Pillow Book) and unfolds as a great sensory fresco with strong emotional potential. A heterogeneous collection of drawn, animated and sound scenes are taken from the digital material; they recreate a sort of subjective world (inner and outer world) in the form of a labyrinth composed of fractal architectures.
Cinétique
Director
An organic and geometric form resembling an immobile skeleton. This structure, built on the principle of the zoetrope, slowly rotates itself until reach its vibration speed. As well physical and optical principles are revealed, distorting and destroying the bodies to a chaotic abstraction for renew again. The video is built on a palindromic form, on a perpetual return to the origins, beginning and ending in a vacuum. Cinétique was inspired by optical games of pre-cinema which have the loop as fundamental physics principles and explores the concept of Eros and Thanatos : a conflict between life and death.
Ils tournent en rond
Director
Ils tournent en rond is a reinterpretation of the painting Kermesse with Theater and Procession by Pieter Bruegel the Younger. After having erased digitally the characters present in the original painting, new characters were reanimated inside this medieval scene. Ludic and offbeat, characters (clones of Boris Labbé!) continually replaying scenes from the original painting, locked in their endless cycles.
