La Cuisine

This is a study from the "scènes de menage" series, starring Jacques Larose and Marie Claude Ferland, the filmmaker’s parents. We see domestic activities that take on a new dimension thanks to the way Larose deals with successive layers. The repetitive, automatic movements that are repeated in places such as the kitchen and the hallway, the succession of actions of getting into the car and leaving the house, are all captured by the camera in multiple overlays, which on being slightly out of sync give rise to a split, multidimensional reality.
