This Bogeyman

"Ginard recreates the myth of the villainous man who, in many cultures, is used by adults to frighten children and make them behave in a certain way. The monster does not have a distinct appearance, but simply is “a non-specific embodiment of terror,” the artist clarifies. The film combines images shot on expired Super-8 film, found footage, a sound collage of male gibberish and digitally corrupted noise, and a square black framing that at times spills its outer edges over the center of the imagery." - Mónica Savirón, Museum of the Moving Image
