2 In the " trough the mirror " work, the question of the value of a video image as reflection of reality arises and in this particular case, when this video image sends back in real time what passes in front of the screen. The spectator is confronted with his own reflection as well as with the whole scene which takes place behind him. While he is invited by a text scrolling on the screen not to leave it of the look, the spectator is put in a state of waiting. Meanwhile, in the scene which takes place behind him, characters filmed in previously are inscrustés by an IT program. At first harmless, this inscrustations goes gradually towards the absurd. The question is to know at which moment the spectator will realize the trickery! SELF(L)IES

3 CONCEPT L œuvre questionne le rapport entre la personne et son image qui se perd dans le flot toujours grandissant d'autoportraits qui circulent sur internet. Il y a une notion de perte d'identité dans cette accumulation des selfies, on se noie a nouveau dans la masse, un nouvel inconnu parmi cette multitudes d'anonymes dans cet espace de communication. Dès lors, faire surgir son image, la faire repasser au dessus des autres revêt un caractère vital. Il faut exister! This work is constituted by a video screen, or by a multimedia mirror, sending back in real time the images of the showroom with a 3D video camera (type kinect). While words or sentences, which will have for only mission to get the attention of the spectator will be diffused in overprint on the image, a video inlay of characters will be made real time in the set behind the spectators. At first harmless people (visitors of exhibitions), the inlays will go towards more and more moved characters, to see, if the captation of the attention of the spectator is sufficient, striking characters (realities or imagination, Hitler or Harry Potter). The possibility of integrer of the modelled characters is not pushed aside.

4 Self(l)ies se présente sous la forme d'une œuvre interactive où, dans un premier temps, le spectateur est invité à se faire filmer en vidéo 3D intégrale ; en continuant son parcours dans l œuvre, il se retrouvera face à un portrait puzzle constitué des partis des visages de toutes les personnes filmées, il pourra tenter de reconstituer de rechercher, avec l'aide de petits cubes interactifs, son image dans ce puzzle en 3 dimensions!

7 CONCEPT Mais plus il y a de nouvelles personnes, plus il est difficile de mettre en avant sa propre image. Et dans cette recherche de soi, il arrive qu'on porte sur le devant l'image d'un autre mais si on y arrive, si on s'y retrouve, on gagne ce jeu qui consiste à avoir son quart d'heure de célébrité!
