Yves Gellie
Yves Gellie is a filmmaker and photographer born in Bordeaux, France, in 1953. After studying medicine at the University of Bordeaux II, he practiced tropical medicine for two years in Gabon before deciding to devote himself to photography. In 1981, he began his new career as a photographer with a first series on a cocaine network in Colombia, followed by a story on the Ogaden war in Somalia. Over the last fifteen years, he has developed a body of work that positions him somewhere between documentary and contemporary art. He explores the ambiguous relationship between photography and reality and experiments with the fictional power of images.

At the crossroads of art and science, this film centers on human beings and robots as their artificial counterparts. Like a series of archival documents detailing the first contacts and exchanges between human beings and a robot, the film studies cognitive dissonance, a minuscule, mysterious relational space lying between them both.
