Re: New Music

Its not music, but its fun.

Here is a blurb….

Femme Chanel-Emma Fenchel is a video made with found footage-sequences from existing films-that explores the possibilities of recontextualizing this material. The point of departure is a commercial for the Chanel No. 5 Night Train perfume (France 2009) directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and featuring Audrey Tautou, as well as other films (Coco Chanel, Hunting and Gathering, Priceless) in starring Tautou. This found footage was re-cut into a new video, with particular emphasis on the editing as a means of subtly manipulating viewers. Emma Fenchel consists primarily of cuts interconnecting formally well-matched sequences from other motion pictures. This revision of the sequence of the cuts as well as the insertion of other material modifies the message of the perfume commercial, with the initially demure Audrey Tautou-playing a stereotyped female image propagated by advertising-mutating into a man-eating femme fatale.
