Vincent Grenier's films are often concerned with identification-with the act of perceiving a world which is illusory, where objects and people are both material and a play of light and shadow. His newest work extends this notion to explore the tension between a person's social facade and inner qualities, between the public and private, persona and personal self. In four segments, people tell stories about an event "which made them feel estranged from things or people around them." Their narration is complicated by Grenier's choice of disorienting settings-atop a table, amidst a never-ending pile of fallen leaves. In the resulting discomfiture, the narrators not only present themselves, but reveal themselves. This play between constructing and deconstructing an identity is metaphorically represented by superimposed images of interior and exterior spaces, fragile, beautiful images which deny a simple, direct knowledge of the individual.
