Anatomy of Chaos
Bordeaux, France
Anatomy of Chaos is a short film by director Benjamin Juhel, surrounding the physical process and internal universe of artist William Guillon. The soundtrack is an original score by production duo Maelstrom and Louisahhh, from their album 'Sustained Resistance', forthcoming on label RAAR.
The film explores the method, both in terms of metaphorical 'chasing the muse' (as represented by Nicole Muratov of L'Opera National de Bordeaux) and also literal: the carving, casting and shaping of raw materials that make up Guillon's celebrated sculptural work.
Musically, the film is accompanied by the vast and powerful machinations of Maelstrom and Louisahhh, oscillating from subtly euphoric textures to the height of aggressive and enamored roaring, peaking with the lead single 'If I Could Hold'.
It was a happy accident that the audio-visual universes collide so seamlessly, with both sonic and aesthetic teams sharing an appreciation of process, a relationship with the instinctual and divine work that is channeling and manifesting creation.
