The Anabasis of May and Fusako Shigenobu

Film stills from Eric Baudelaire's "THE ANABASIS of May and Fusako Shigenobu, Masao Adachi and 27 years without images", 2011, Super 8 and HD video. More information here.

Some of his other works are on show at KIOSK until June 15th: the exhibition L’œil se noie is the result of an intuitive dialogue between Baudelaire and Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc. Their work stems from a shared interest in the gaps and fissures that make up stories, as well as the challenges and promises they hold.

For fifteen years now, he’s been continually documenting specific moments and places in his family home on film.
