Aldébaran is the first film from a series of works on hybridization: body and light, color and rhythm. The series are transforming and spiritualizing human body by the use of light, or more precisely by the screening of a film directly to the skin. The body is therefore the only screen for the abstract images made from mathematical models. This encounter between body and light produces a particular and creative energy beyond shapes. Lyrical abstraction, mathematical modelisation and sensual exploration of light, this film is the depth perception of the body stridences.
