Karim Zeriahen
- Director
- Writer
- Choreography
From live stage images to life in images, the director and video artist
Karim Zeriahen seems to have found the shortest way. Since the
beginning of the 90s, when he worked in close relationship with
choreographer Philippe Decouflé, he learned how to put the art of stage
in motion, contemporary dance most of the time. Karim Zeriahen then
starts a fruitful collaboration with Montpellier based choreographer
Mathilde Monnier. Stop, Videlilah, day of night, short films adapted
from her stage creations. Each time, Karim Zeriahen's camera takes over
the place with movement, the body language is not frozen but magnified.
Choreographer Herman Diephuis also joins this gallery of dancing
portraits. Documentaries on figures such like Albert Maysles or Hubert
de Givenchy and from Joe Dalessandro to Paul Morrissey, he sets a
signature, a camera always in action with confidence.
