Petites Révélations
Minor Revelations
The revelations are really very small in this subtle anthology of significant
– or perhaps, seemingly insignificant – moments. In a series of apparently unconnected vignettes, people live through micro-epiphanies
– sometimes no more than an exchange of glances, a missed encounter, or a chance moment of farce watched from a doorway in
the rain. Some faces in the cast you may recognise, most you won‘t – but there is no hierarchy, neither of people nor of incidents,
in this tour de force of bittersweet minimalism. The choice of each period is intimate, as each awakens a particular emotion
in me that reflects what is around me. Situations that are apparently insignificant take on meaning in my eyes, which does
not necessarily make them more significant. It is more an affirmation of multiple ways of seeing, of perceiving something
apparently banal. (Marie Vermillard)
