Totalité again takes us inside the human body, but this time it is a body found inside a cosmic architecture, close to perfection. We can thus pick up the power of what the word "movement" means for Johanna Vaude. Here the dead start to dance and children are born in cathedrals. A fantastic world, a world of dreams and visions. Johanna Vaude practices experimental science fiction. Here she comes back to working directly on the film, painted frame by frame. Based on a soundtrack by Photek, Totalité has a lively, concise rhythm, a rhythm which rotates.
