FILM SYNOPSIS:
“Inferno” was inspired by the encounter with Dan and Christophe’s electro band “theswimmingpool” and my obsession with water, light and body gesture. Dan and Christophe are more than musicians. They are performers who pay special attention to their costumes, which are conceived and designed by them in collaboration with Jean Rabel. “Inferno” explores the friction between reality and imagination.
