Eléonore de Montesquiou ’s films explore the relation between geographic borders and identities, using a minimal formal vocabulary and a dreamlike aesthetic.The artist, having lived a long time in Austria, Estonia, and Germany, constantly finds herself between two languages, two cultures, two generations, two stories. She interviews the people who live in border areas, urban intervals, forgotten cities, and gathers their testimonies in a sensitive way. Her videos attest to the love she bears for these inhabitants through the careful attention given to their particular stories of every day life.
