Justine Pluvinage has made many films ostensibly adopting the documentary format. From the marriage of her female cousin to the difficulties a couple encounter after a serious accident, voyeurism and strangeness are intermingled. In 2012, with Anaïs Delmoitiez, she made a series of films entitled Mirifique. Static shots of ordinary or incongruous scenes, the short sequences seem like so many fragments of reality, shown in the form of loops lasting a few minutes or a few seconds. However, her videos offer less a story than juxtaposed shots. The point of view oscillates between the effect of reality and an oneiric state, between a slice of observed time and narration.

At the Musée des Tissus Justine Pluvinage is showing an installation with rhythmically alternating empty spaces and images, a landscape which visitors are free to interpret as they wish. The editing seems actually to be the viewer’s responsibility in the exhibition space. In these sometimes intimate images, Justine Pluvinage plays with the divergences between sex and gender, while rejecting any moral relationship to the body and the individual.
