AnimationLe Poème d’actu
Collection of animated short films — 10 × 2 min — 2019
What if poetry became another way of telling the news? Across ten episodes blending poetry, humour and animation, Le Poème d’actu (“The News Poem”) revisits the political, cultural and social events of its time. Carried by Thomas Deslogis’s texts and voice, the collection develops a world where words come to life and turn into images.
I imagined the collection’s visual identity and directed its animated sequences, exploring the relationships between words, drawing and movement. Each episode was an opportunity to invent new visual associations while keeping an overall coherence. The rhythm of the texts and their poetic dimension guided my choices of composition and animation.
