Still of Première demeure, 2010
Elisa Vandewalle (France, 1983) is a multimedia artist graduated in 2008 at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Her videos, photographs and sculptures develop a minimalistic form of great poetic potential that focuses on the physics of perception and the traces of gesture. In 2011 she was invited by the French choreographer Daniel Dobbels to produce her first exhibition in the context of an art residency at Le Forum, near Paris. Since 2013 she collaborates with Emmanuel Eggermont in the contemporary dance company L'Anthracite. She is also a permanent member of the collective Nox Factio, founded by herself in 2007 with Andrés Ramírez.
Première demeure is a sequence shot that intends to bring to life a mountain of earth that seems to breathe. A human shape used to produce charcoal. The film was shot in the Slovenian Alps during a production residency in Ljubljana.
