Summary :
" While watching my footage from Morocco, I started playing at the  "Rear window", making several "zooms"  in one single take filmed at the Square Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakech. Little by little, I began to discover thousands of stories in one single clip. The game and voyeurism turned a single scene into infinite possible intrigues. Multiple parallel lives, each in its fragile bubble, are revealed in a short moment. Through the film, we can sort of see how human beings live disconnected from each other and how society is obsessed with capturing moments of life for no other purpose. We are gazing at a show of animals, beings. While editing this video, I had the opportunity to show an unusual view of a banal scene. I imagined, as if the scene had been recorded by a CCTV camera and was a kind of "Big Brother"."
