The first videos explicitly focus on the interconnection between sound and image, calling them videocompositions.
The soundtrack is produced by wordless abstract electroacoustic composition.Elaborated from analogue sounds taken from a stream or the sea, raw sound during the shooting of the image or live improvisation to accompany a silent video.

To dive into the sea means to submerge and move in the inconceivable liquid of feelings, to go into the dark and then to emerge and take a breath. Attracted by this experience, one seeks the depths again, as in a drunkenness.
The music is made exclusively from a very flat recording of the sea, almost a grey noise, and by extracting from it the sounds that are hidden but included in the swell of the sea, these unconscious zones are explored.
The images - like the sounds - come from almost microscopic shots of multiple objects, enlarged to the extreme, thus creating space to project recognisable meanings - according to our automatic search for known connections - be they faces or animals. They are extremely slow-moving camera shots in conjunction with music that takes us literally diving into the sea.

Through the images, the montage and the use of real time, the video symbolically represents the forced repetition of our lives.
But it also reveals, if we sharpen our gaze, the subtlety of minimal changes in apparently identical images, which lead us shot by shot to recover a broad vision of space.
