Modèle animal
Maud Faivre, Marceau Boré

The Drosophila fly is a perfect model for life in the laboratory, mass-produced to mass-produce knowledge. It lives, dies and loves in the cylinder of a plastic tube. In a larger box, in a research centre for animal behaviour, humans conduct astonishing experiments with these insects. Witnessing these experiments, our perception of
these familiar animals is gradually transformed.

Maud Faivre is based in Brussels, where she works as a photographer. Her photographic projects focus on the work of others, the midmountain landscape and birds. She regularly collaborates with architects and
landscape architects on longterm projects. Animal model, codirected with Marceau Boré, is her first film.
A musician and sound recordist, Marceau Boré was introduced to ornithology through his encounters with naturalists. He left the studio and concert hall to capture the sounds of his environment and recreate soundscapes. This is how he came to create works for documentary cinema, and how he began his collaboration with photographer Maud Faivre, together surveying landscapes and meeting the people who defend them. Together, they made their first film, Modèle animal.
