BOUQUETS 1 -10 is a part of a series of one minute films covering a variety of subjects. Composed frame by frame in the camera during filming, these Bouquets were recorded by weaving alternatively frames gathered in one area at different times.

Each Bouquet of flowers becomes as well a bouquet of frames, mingling the plants to be found in a given place with the activities that happen to be there at the time.

Bouquet 1
Filmed on the Mount Ventoux, Vaucluse, from the peak (1912m) to the Grozeau spring. Amongst yellow poppies and various mountain flowers, people eat their lunch, scramble or cycle up the slopes leading to the summit where they are greeted by the sale of local products : organic épautre, the local ancient form of wheat, and coloured candies.

Bouquet 2
Filmed near the village of Brantes, amongst other things, a school cycling party passing through fields of flowers on the borders of Vaucluse and Drome.

Bouquet 3
Filmed on a Sunday afternoon on the banks of the Huveaune River in and on the way to the village of Roquevaire, Var.

Bouquet 4
Filmed on the sands of Beauduc, Camargue, Bouche du Rhône, people have built a small village out of bric-a-brac. One of the cabins has a Provençal scene painted on its fence : a Camargue bull is depicted in its bullring with windmill, cypress tree and and bull fighter. The sea air is rapidly peeling off the paint. The local authorities are menacing to remove all the homes.
