Un film du collectif Le RAtoire (Katherine Bauer-Pierre Borel-Joyce Lainé-Léa Lanoë-Loïc Verdillon)
2022 / 17’ / 16mm / son numérique – Labo L’Argent-Marseille / Atelier MTK-Grenoble

Des reflets de la réflexion de la lumière à travers l’argent du miroir sur l’argent de la pellicule.
Personne n’y verra que du Feu. Les miroirs et la copulation sont abominables parce qu’ils multiplient le nombre des humains.

Reflections of light reflected through the silver of the mirror onto the silver of the film.
No one will see but Fire

Le RAtoire is a filmmaking collective composed of members from two film labs based in France, namely : Katherine Bauer, Joyce Lainé, and Loïc Verdillon, from Atelier MTK in Grenoble, and Léa Lanoë, and Pierre Borel from Labo L’argent in Marseille.
Le Ratoire, a name that in French hints at both the words “lab” and “failure,” is a group of artists coming together with the proposition of making a movie from start to finish almost as a single act, as a joint organism, often with any materials they have at their disposal, and in extremely little time. About their methodology for filmmaking :“each film is defined by a particular set of parameters; both technical and, especially, situational.”
