2. My Summer Vacation

   This haunting narrative about a summer vacation turned tragic uses a slim strip of moving images as the background for a stream of language flowing from right to left as a series of voices tell a piece of the story. The sound of waves on the shore serve as a soothing aural backdrop to each character’s whispered voices, perhaps suggestive of what happens when the sea raises its voice. Each character involved with the tragic turn of events brings a different perspective to the situation, yet they are all so involved in their own affairs, much like the ending of Robert Frost’s poem “Out, Out.” In the final lines of the poem, as the speaker (whisperer) seeks to tie up the events in a neat little package that can provide closure, we realize that closure eludes all the characters in the story, who must continue to live on haunted by their memories and regrets.

3. Una Selva Oscura

   Artist Statement:

   My work has been driven by three main themes: interpretation through adaptation, little acts of unacknowledged violence, and the expression of a sexual self. What is at stake in those themes is three aspects of the act of representation. By adapting somebody else's work, I present it anew, in a different context that has to do with the original work but also with my reaction to it, my interpretation of it. By representing little acts of violence in an absurd, cynical or sarcastic way, I provide a depiction of them that acknowledges what would otherwise be left unspoken. By expressing a sexual self that is feminine and feminist, outspoken and in charge of her sexuality, I provide the representation of a reality that is too often left in the dark because of taboos, repression and censorship.

4. 6 avatars en quête d'auteur / 6 Avatars in Quest of an Author

   6 avatars en quête d'auteur est une création inscrite à la fois dans une démarche artistique et universitaire. Elle est le fruit de la collaboration de Daniel Bouillot et de ses étudiants : Yannick Berthier, Claire Bonaventure et Christel Cerruti. Cette œuvre pose de manière aiguë le rapport problématique entre la narration interactive et le texte, en mettant en scène des avatars à la recherche d’un texte à jouer. Bouillot réinterprète ainsi la célèbre pièce de Pirandello à l’ère du numérique, offrant aux internautes des scénettes interactives, librement inspirées des grands auteurs (Shakespeare, Beckett, Camus, etc.). Ainsi Le Mythe de Sysiphe de Camus est adapté en Shoot them up, ou encore Rhinocéros de Ionesco en questionnaire à choix multiples interactif. On retrouve six avatars/acteurs, dans 24 scènes se référant à 24 exergues de 24 grands auteurs, à travers des simulations 3D plus ou moins interactives.
