Two people, an old couple, dance with spontaneity and presence.
Is it possible to recognize a dance in the simple gestures that often blend in imperceptibly?
"Mi Nunn" is a video dance with non-dancers. Using documentary images, I stole fragments of the lives of two people. I asked them to dance for me according to their instincts.
Through a straightforward montage I created a portrait that speaks of them as individuals and as a couple, and also as grandparents, my grandparents. It was their naivety that moved me the most. And it was through this emotion that I decided to honour them!
Imagined with an old 4:3 camera and a smartphone, I wanted to film the present in the immediate act of the events.
