Most of the time, shifting is something people do after nightfall. Luna and Ether have experienced a few symptoms but have yet not managed. Pauline has succeeded once without really expecting it, while Fato and Tristan have found a method of their own that they now master effortlessly thanks to sleep paralysis. In effect, shifting is like temporarily taking leave of our world. Somewhere between meditation and self-hypnosis, consciousness enables the body to thought-travel within a desired reality. Using a script, shifters determine in advance the nature of their environment, their short-term objectives and their vocation in this world that will be there for them for as long as they wish. I suggested that five shifters meet up and try the experiment together. All that remains is to find the right method to achieve this and collectively test the reality of an elsewhere formulated on common ground.
Jean-Baptiste Georjon
Jean-Baptiste Georjon was born in Saint-Étienne in 1995. He lives and works in Paris. A photographer and filmmaker trained in the social sciences, visual arts (ENSAD) and exhibition curation (ENSBA), he is interested in the fictional potential that emerges from documentary situations to construct his cinematic language. Archives, events and communities in the broadest sense of the term form an integral part of his research into utopia and news stories. His first film, Les Météores (2021), entered the FRAC Poitou-Charentes collection that same year.
