Ecce Homo is a documentary video, filmed in infrared in dark underground passages. The cogs of a dissolute, anonymous and clandestine homosexuality. A sensual and suave awakening is revealed before sliding into the sulphurous depths of an abandoned sexuality. A musical backdrop of John Cage and Alain Bashung sentimentalises the mechanics of the bodies.

"Inscribed in an intimate memory delivered in a confession, the video Ecce Homo, screened in many international festivals, is built in an alchemy of words and images. Abandonment and loss of love resonate in this nocturnal exploration. Like a season in hell, the disastrous descent freezes into a clandestine and collective sexuality. A profane mass of the flesh, camera and body take communion.
