The DVD release, EYESHIFT (un regard en mouvement) is a tribute to the
video artist and filmmaker Pierre-Yves Cruaud, representing a new
generation of experimental cinema, which fuses the aesthetics of
traditional film-based photography with that of digital video
technology. On this DVD Pierre-Yves presents 7 of his short films, a
bonus video made for the DVD, an installation Passages, a commentary by
the artist, as well as a bio and filmography.

Pierre-Yves Cruaud has been present on the international visual art and
film festival circuit for a number of years now. His work has received
numerous awards and special mentions from around the world including
the award for best creation (Grand Prix de la Création) at the
Vidéoformes festival in Clermont-Ferrand (France), the experimental
film prize at the Cabbagetown (Canada) Film Festival and more recently
the award for Best video art production at the Asolo Art Film Festival
(Italy).
PIERRE-YVES CRUAUD’S aims to tackle issues pertaining to our
contemporary world: False Solitude (Fausse Solitude) takes a look at
the agonizing speed of city life; the video Silence in Motion (Le
silence est en marche) brings into question the boundaries of our
existence, leaving little room for personal fulfilment; The Hotel of
Reproducible Lives (L’hôtel des vies reproductibles) puts into
perspective global telesurveillance systems that break the barriers
between private and public life; In Construction (En travaux) follows
the edification of Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona by adopting
similar construction methods in the video editing process.

Other films like Living Lights (Vivantes lueurs), Stoned Glaze (Regard
de pierre) or Images (Images) touches on more abstract topics and
examines the fragility and poetry of images. Pierre-Yves, in his films,
reveals to us the ephemeral character of images impossible to capture
in a fixed image. In his work, Pierre-Yves Cruaud, manipulates the
limits between the interior and the exterior. He decomposes the image,
measures its speed, and brings us to its infinite reproducibility back
to its form as a unique sample. He transmits the image by transforming
it. Its aesthetic qualities become lucid and the rigidity of its
structure makes us see a new way of being in the image.
