La vie continuera sans moi
“La vie continuera sans moi“ (2010) is a short fiction film by Arnold Pasquier. It was shot in an apartment of the rue Jean Pigeon in Charenton-Le-Pont.
"In an apartment, three men and a woman are looking for something that is missing. The loss of the choreographer Pina Bausch inspired in me a dance of feelings. Express the inconsolable within us, carve out absence and then open the window".
Taken from the article "Corps à corps", by Rodolphe Olcèse, La Recherche au Collège des Bernardins, February 2013:
"Cinema, like dance, seeks to put motion into action. Dance and cinema are two practices intrinsically driven by a temporality, meaning that, fundamentally, they are linked to existence and life, which, whether in terms of absence or withdrawal, are refreshed continually through them. In its form as in its words, Arnold Pasquier’s “La vie continuera sans moi” makes this particularly obvious. This film, using a mechanism structured around the notions of gesture, listening, and the face, stages an intimacy that is outward looking and that, in this passage, in this movement, is as though restored to itself. We are in a private world, inhabited by multiple traces of Pina Bausch, where faces are welcomed that offer us only their presence. But something from outside has already entered inside. One person is examining a map of Sicily, while another is folding up the map of a foreign city, two images that give concrete form to this call to someplace else and to a crossing that every face carries within it. A young woman comes out onto the roof of a building and makes a choreographic gesture, short but intense, embodying the release from one’s self conductive to the act of existing, and stating in its own manner what other films show in other ways, that is, that need to dance outside, to be in contact with the world in order to transform it by a carnal presence.”
Pasquier, Arnold
Arnold Pasquier was born in Paris in 1968. After studying visual arts and cinema, he made tests in Super 8 and video, in which he developed a world of filmed newspapers and fictions. At the age of twenty, he approaches contemporary dance and collaborates with choreographers as documentarist and dancer. This experience marks the realization of a work where dance holds an important place.
From 1997 to 1999, he was received as a resident artist at the Fresnoy (Tourcoing, France) where he designed the installation "C'est ici que j'avais des baisers" (1997-1999) and produced about twenty short films, four radio design workshops For France Culture and dance performances capturing. In 1999, he presented the show "C'est merveilleux" in the Grande Nef du Fresnoy. He is the author of numerous films (fiction, documentary, video art), staged shows, scenographies, radio broadcasts. His work is articulated at the crossroads of these different disciplines. Winner of a residence Villa Médicis Hors les Murs (outside the wall) in Sao Paulo in 2004, he dances for Julie Desprairies in "La danse en accès accès", "Vue sur la mer" and "Là commence le ciel". He co-signs with her the video-dance installation "Les 3 contents", the result of the residence of the choreographer at the Manufacture de Sèvres (France).

Meeting with literature
Collaboration between a choreographer and a writer can lead to the emergence of a large number of combinations. If sometimes the choreographer creates his dance around the work of an author, the writer can also choose dance as the subject of his text.
