«La Vie modèle follows the psychological derailment of a woman, isolated from nature and from the real world in her ultramodern and urban condominium, who sees her life turned upside down when a digital spirit haunts her and makes her lose all sense of orientation inside her home. La Vie modèle was inspired by models in 3D animation. Real estate developers often insert images of ‘happy’ people into their housing models, in order to sell a trendy and utopian way of life living in their future condos. This video underlines the artificiality of synthetic materials which are increasingly occupying the places we live in, and which come and disturb our notions of domestic comfort.» Text by the artist
