Kalea Dream - experimental music video by Erwan Tracol.

I met Erwan online when I was a teenager, and we mostly bonded over movies and music.
We’re both from the same part of France - Drôme and Ardèche - and even lived in Lyon at the same time, but never really crossed paths.
Fast forward a few years: I moved to Nantes last October and I realized he was living there too and was involved in an experimental film collective.
One afternoon, I went to check out his work.
He had rolls of film hanging around his neck and showed them to me one by one on a screen in his lab. Totally magical.
I felt an immediate connection between his work and Kalea Dream, and I asked if he’d be down to make a video for the track. And here we are!

The video is an experimental essay with chemigrams on expired 16mm film. Chemigrams are images created without a camera, using only chemicals, resists, and photosensitive materials.

« When Tryphème asked me to make a music video for Kalea Dream, I asked her what the lyrics were about. She told me it was a list of racehorses - so Kalea Dream is the name of a horse. I guess I used chemigrams as a way to imagine what a racing horse’s dream might look like. »

Meet our next artist-in-residence Erwan Tracol from France!

Erwan: I work with moving images on film as a way to let my inner child express himself. I also enjoy sharing what I come upon very much. I have this memory of slowly falling asleep in the back of my mom’s car while looking at the cars headlights coming the other way with my half-closed eyes, I think this is my forever “current field of exploration”.

🫧 Describe your creative process in three words: try, fail, repeat

🫧 Name one exciting thing about being here in Riga, in BAL residency?
Ending a long day of work in the lab by going to the sauna on the Daugava river. Having the opportunity to meet and connect with like-minded people from all around the world.

🫧 Reach me: @cartwolearn / erwan.tracol@gmail.com

Erwan Tracol & Laurent Reyes, FR, 2025, 20’, 16mm live performance
Flames shoot up into the sky from the ends of large pipes. Thick smoke billows. A storm is brewing. A swaying figure tries to make its way through. The hectic pace carries us along.

Work produced in the context of this year Filmwerkplaats SPECTRAL Residency.

Erwan Tracol is a member of @mire_nantes (Nantes, FR) whose photographic and filmic work explores the many possibilities of film.

We are excited to welcome our other SPECTRAL residents of this summer: Erwan Tracol @cartwolearn and Laurent Reyes @_laurent_reyes.
Erwan & Laurent will work in our lab from 12th to 23rd of July on a new expanded cinema project that will premiere at our Back to the Future festival (19-21 September 2025). Their tools are projectors, sound and image loops, and their thumbs. Like gold diggers, Erwan and Laurent strive on stage to discover a nugget that will sparkle on the screen.
They will also guide the workshop ‘Hijacking photochemistry film & its projector devices’ at Filmwerkplaats on the 19th and 20th of July, for which there still are few tickets available (link in bio).

Erwan Tracol is a filmmaker based in Nantes, France. He is a member of the artist-run film lab @mire_nantes, where he learned to love and experiment with silver-based emulsion. His practice is focused on cameraless cinema techniques, the plasticity of celluloid and his relation to memories.

Based in Marseille, Laurent Reyes is a film maker and a photographer member of the artist-run film lab @labo_largent. He directs documentaries and experimental films when he is not conducting workshops or swimming in the mediterranean sea. taken in WORM Rotterdam by @cartwolearn
