This experimental short film takes its name from the Greek myth wherein Ariadne falls in love with Theseus who seeks to kill the Minotaur in Daedalus' labyrinth. Clever Ariadne gives Theseus a ball of red thread so that he may find his way out of the labyrinth after killing the Minotaur. From one architectural maze to another, the red thread leads the viewer on a journey that weaves in and out of a dream like state, in and out of an occasionally intrusive present reality.

Synopsis J'avais vingt ans quand je me suis perdu en explorant les montagnes de Macchu Picchu. J'ai failli y rester… Les Indiens qui m'ont sauvé la vie ont chanté cette chanson : Sur les rives du fleuve Urubamba, J'ai écrit ton nom sur le sable. La vague est venue, elle a tout effacé. Et de ton nom il ne reste plus rien. Plus rien. Ceux qui m'ont sauvé sont disparus dans le brouillard sans me laisser leur nom. Mais je n'oublierai jamais qu'ils m'ont traité comme si je faisais partie de leur famille. 40 ans plus tard je retourne au point de départ pour initier un nouveau périple. Je pars à la rencontre des amis de longue date?: mi familia americana. Ensemble nous allons prendre le pouls des Amériques.

Alimentary Passage is an experimental video essay that explores digestion as a metaphor for experience, a figure for relating to and being in the world. While digestion starts in the mouth, the absorption of nutrients begins with the growing and distribution of food. In this video, consumption and absorption are mapped onto the highways and byways of the city. Inundated with information about food whether bio-chemistry, crop hybridization, cooking shows, slow food or 100 mile diets, the endless flows of sustenance are present in the diverse tributaries and invisible passages or urban space. More than a biological process digestion is a condition of change itself.
