LE DISPOSITIF is a collection of 52 videos of varying length. It is an orientation, explanation and conditioning program.

Fragmentation, being a paradoxical consequence of globalization, is an internal human process that spreads throughout modern times. This phenomenon is commonly compared by specialists in India to the era of the goddess Kali (Kali Yuga). They can see there a form of self-cannibalism that manifests itself most commonly as a representation of oneself being a collection of separate parts, each seen as a fetish.

The symptoms are numerous: pandemic development of multiple personalities, tabula rasa (blank slate levelling) psychological projects by Dr. Cameron, chaotic and simultaneous appearance of serial killers and fast food chains, or metastatic ubiquity of stars who do not know very well where they stand when the most famous among them are asking themselves the question (in posters, TVs, human brains or hard drives?).

In today's world, one only appears in parts. LE DISPOSITIF produces an electrical current that aims at rearranging the pieces and generate mental bifurcation areas. A "Restored Man" project has repeatedly been evoked in history: it would be the effect of the bicameral divine voice—represented in turn by the face of the Fox, the Butterfly, and the Seahorse—revealing itself as Birdmen, distant root representatives of humanity with its unclear origin (Mazdean Fravashi, Angels, Aliens?).

Assuming that all information is pollution, the viewer is offered a variety of perspectives operated by LE DISPOSITIF which strengthen its immune system to confront the waves of chaos and dislocation to come.

LE DISPOSITIF, is created by Thomas Bertay & Pacôme Thiellement and produced by Sycomore Films: http://vimeo.com/sycomorefilms.
