Obsessio
France
2022
Amid the mineral hills bordering the Mediterranean Sea, between fantasy and reality, the ciné-roman Obsessio tells the story of a couple falling apart. Through these vulnerable characters, grappling with universal psychological struggles, Louise Ernandez portrays a staged and mythical world, highlighting human archetypes: those of the femme fatale and the modern man, rational and impassive towards the depth of his feelings. The artist reinterprets the main photo novel characteristics traditionally rooted in stereotypical representations, but gradually blurring its conventions. She creates a palpable unease and transcends the consensual aspect of this 1970s popular genre.
