La culotte

Screenshot, La culotte (trans : Panties), 2018 video, 3 min.
In this video, bright red panties appear and disappear, carried by the tumultuous waves of the sea. The striking contrast between the intense red of the fabric and the black sand creates an intriguing and poetic scene, where each wave reshapes the landscape. The sea, powerful and unpredictable, deposits the panties on the shore before snatching them up again in a perpetual motion.
As the waves recede, the black sand slowly transforms, becoming a living canvas that constantly changes under the influence of the water. The sand moulds, folds and hollows, revealing ephemeral patterns, like a painting in constant evolution. The vibrant, symbolic red of the panties contrasts with the dark, changing hues of the sand, evoking feelings of loss, desire, and the impermanence of objects in the natural world.
Each retreat of the sea leaves behind unique traces, lines and shapes that will never be repeated, capturing the essence of instantaneity. The red panties, alternately visible and invisible, become a silent witness to this dialogue between sand and sea, between permanence and change. As for the black sand, it acts like a living painting, each wave adding a new touch, a new variation, to this endless work.
