Transformation: Vivre-Réagir

· Comment

For the con­test “Trans­for­ma­tion: Vivre-Réa­gir“1, Julien Las­sort and Matthieu Bur­lot explored the human face, the most exposed and per­son­al part of the human body. Their dynam­ic por­tray­al of “1000 et une faces“2 is a mosa­ic of por­traits and emo­tions that plays off of the pow­er of faces seen close up. Julien Far­go com­posed the melody that encap­su­lates the film.
