The Blame

A grafiti-man goes in search for his lost partner on the walls of the city. Urban landscapes will lead his thoughts. Why is she no longer there? Who is the blame on? Natalianne Boucher filmed and directed this music video in Ivry-sur-Seine where she lives. Graffiti has now something retro, but mixing stop-motion style with real photography was the future-retro challenge to visually tell this story.

Natalianne Boucher is a visual artist with an experimental animation background. She works with complementary dynamics and media, from landscape with photography and drawing to the use of performative, expressive or musical body with video and animation. Among those works and collaborations, she directed “Continuum” (2014), an awarded video dance and “The Blame” (2021), a music video for Bob Moses. She is interested in representing human perception of time, working on the balance between its individual and universal aspects. The tension between cognition and emotion with time matter often reveals in her work themes such as memory, anthropomorphism, the inanimate, loneliness and otherness.
