Ael is a Hikikomori: he lived as a recluse inside a cottage in his father’s garden for 13 years. During online discussions he will slowly unveil himself while discovering and exploring a video game especially design for him, that replicates his bedroom, his garden and the family home. This film paints a fragmented portrait of a man withdrawn from society.

fleuryfontaine

fleuryfontaine is an artistic duo whose work explores the positions we each occupy in the neo-liberal, artificial and security-driven environments that condition our behaviour, our bodies and our relation to the world and to others. Their work also takes the form of installations, sculptures and performances as well as digitally generated images. After graduating from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture Paris-Malaquais (ENSA Paris-Malaquais) in 2008, Galdric Fleury and Antoine Fontaine continued their studies at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts de Paris-Cergy (ENSAPC) in 2010. That is where they began working exclusively in a duo by the name of fleuryfontaine. Selected for the Salon de Montrouge in 2015, and then for Jeune Création at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac later that year, they alternate residencies (Bruges, Seoul, London, Lisbon, Tokyo, etc.) and exhibitions in venues as diverse as Les Grands Voisins, isthisit? and the Maison Populaire in Montreuil.
