Artistic projects

In order to carry out artistic projects, I created the association Hors-champ, originally founded in 2004 under the name Ethos Films. Its objective is to produce, direct, and distribute artistic, cultural, and social projects aimed at changing the way we view others and ourselves. The association is apolitical and secular. It is managed by a committee of three to seven members, coming from both the artistic and social fields.

SOUND CREATIONS

JOUER EN CORPS

An immersive sound piece about BDSM as a space for liberation, created by Vanessa Langer

Produced by Hors-Champ

In the intimate and collective journey of a sex-positive night, bodies meet, become exposed, transform, play, excite, express themselves, and love. Explorations of human relationships, intimacy, boundaries, and desires. Playing with the body opens a universe where pleasures of flesh, pain, surrender, as well as domination, submission, and the curiosity of multiple inversions unfold.

Collective listening with individual headphones organized in Lausanne and elsewhere, in the presence of the director. Contact me if you’re interested in organizing a listening event.

LE CORPS QUI SAIT

A sound experience about childbirth by Vanessa Langer and Caroline Parietti

With the support of the Emilie Gourd Foundation (GE), Prévention Santé (NE), and the associations Hors-Champ (VD), Les Obliques (Lyon), and Le Labo (Espace 2, RTS)

In the dark, with a few voices, following the current—everything in waves—of one experience: childbirth. Some women have experienced non-medicalized birth, with or without a midwife. Others are preparing for it, in their own languages. Poetry and chemistry, bodies tremble and sigh, and it is through sound, sometimes breath, that we tell the story. A sound immersion in rhythm with the body, the one that knows what is happening, the one that does, when given the space and time.

Listening evenings can be organized in the presence of the creators.

ENTRE CORPS 

A sound experience around sexuality by Vanessa Langer, accompanied by Caroline Parietti.

Co-production Hors-champ and Le Labo (Espace 2, RTS, David Collin)

Sounds and breath to take us into the intimacy of bodies intertwining, touching, moving, and caressing, whether from long ago or in the present moment. Sensual explorations, poetry, and alchemy, where bodies vibrate, whisper, and speak. A different approach to sexuality through listening and non-intention.

Listening sessions can be organized in the presence of the director.

AUDIOVISUAL CREATIONS

L’ENTONNOIR

In the intimacy of her bathroom, Christine, blind from birth, gradually reveals herself with lucidity and sincerity. This silent film takes the audience beyond the visible, inviting them to share a tactile experience.
The softness and tranquility of the space create a trusting environment where her body can express itself intuitively, simply. Behind closed doors, Christine creates a space for sensitive encounter, full of humanity.

LA VAGUE

This experimental film was made in close quarters over 4 days.
It is an organic exploration of the senses, space, movement, materials, colors, textures, shadows, and lights, as well as the body and the breath that shaped these moments.
