​

The approach developed by Émilie Brout & Maxime Marion for the past ten years is largely based on links and encounters between archetypes from art history (from the Pre-Renaissance to cinema) and contemporary visual culture - particularly that of the web. This practice is based on a thorough work of research and iconography that nourish pieces that are both critical and emotional, and that integrate in their very modalities of production the economic, political and social specificities induced by the different aesthetic registers they call upon. They aim to inscribe embodiment in their fields of intervention, most often through open, non-linear and non-heroic narrative approaches. With video as medium of choice, they seek to push the limits of the formats they manipulate, and even to invent new ones. Their pieces often have a hybrid, ambiguous dimension, as much in terms of their content as their materiality or their multiple contexts of reception: a crisis of the image, provoking a sensitive dissonance between narrative power and the perceptible unveiling of the mechanisms of production at play.
