| In “ý l’ombre de l’hyperboloÔde” (Brussels-Berlin, 2004), Desamory has woven selfproduced pieces of film and animation into an associative patchwork, evoking childlike sensations of astonishment and dismay. The result is a world of reaching tentacles, hovering eyes and dancing organs. As it is stated in a quote from the Belgian Mystic Marguerite Porete (1250-1310): “comprenez cela comme il faut, et non d’une faÁon humaine”. |   |
| Initially the third episode of Desamory’s phantasmagoric series of four, “Clone Zone” (Switzerland, 2000) tells the story of Louise, her secret scientific experiments and her catastrophic selfcloning, leading to an extraterretrian encounter. A black and white glimpse into a world of romantic consternation and soft madness made in collaboration with Patricia GÈlise and LEM (music). |   |
