Discorde - Film - 22min - 2024
presented as part of the exhibition Panorama 26
Discorde isa film written by several hands.
The writing process took place in Seine-Saint-Denis, in the neighbourhood where I grew up. The issue of representation is a complex one here: media images and systemic racism have tainted our imagination of the area and the people who live there, at the same time depriving them of their own image.
The script was developed with a group of friends living in the neighbourhood. One of them, Antonio, drifted away from the group. Using the principle of the cadavre exquis, each member of the group successively invents the twists and turns of a tale in which a strange illness plunges him into a coma.
Paco
I am a French video artist born in Paris on 4 May 1994. I make films, sculptures and installations. My work is based in the Seine-Saint-Denis district where I grew up. It’s where I experiment with multiple recording and writing devices. In my films, the writing is passed from hand to hand, the camera from one eye to another. The participation of local residents is fundamental, enabling me to envisage a collective response to the media spectre hanging over this area.
