Tableau d'Amour

In 1994, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Tableau d'Amour” by Bériou (Computer Animation) with a Honorary Mention. Bériou has 2 more works in this atlas.

Tableau d'amour opens on a grey, desert-like landscape with an overlay of yellow grid lines. The final tableau displays a rich design of organic matter and reveals a module of labyrinthian body structures. Between those two sequences, a love story has unraveled.

About Bériou

Bériou? He was a mountain guy who used to live in a lost valley in the Alps. He spent part of his life with his friends digging for gold in a mine. One day he realised that the seam he was working on was just a mixture of copper and iron - “fools' gold ”.
