Separation of the functions and circulations in architecture and town planning: DES DALLES (FLAGSTONES). Ironic, methodical and critical journey of these places: DEDALE. Cinema is critique of reality. When this reality is already ideologically "mise en scène" (directed), a function of the cinema is to dislocate this scene to find its reality.

Animated scouting whose primary goal is to reactivate the poetry of myths in urban areas.

Based on a dream, superposition of ruined castles, scree and poetic fragments in the Alsatian winter.

A series of episodes inspired by the popular Alsatian character "Hans im Schnockeloch", "who has everything he needs, wants nothing he has but has nothing he wants". "We wanted to restore some radical vitality to this typically Alsatian character. Incisive." A. Wicker

If, one evening, a village drinker abuses of schnapps to the point of risking a heart attack, the traditional remedy is to bury him up to his neck in manure and leave him there until morning. The organic heat causes an intense elimination of sweat, and the ammonia brings the patient back to consciousness. The "where am I" that follows and the short-circuiting, in the ethylic haze, of the dazzle of the first sun on the snow and the disgust of finding oneself in manure: this is the crucial moment of the borderline experience portrayed in the film. Death and resurrection, steeped not in mystery but in elementary chemistry, which, through its excess, opens the mind to the terrible presence of reality. A tribute to the strong primal character of the Alsatian in his stubborn resistance to all worldly things, and his fierce anchoring to the world.

Cine-tract. Contribution to the collective film CONTEMPT & REBELLION. Against the political arrogance, it's time to remind us recipes of action that have already been proposed and to use them.

An incantatory exercise of a balancing act on the rocks of an invested place, camera in hand at knee height, uttering by heart in the physical breath, a poem - which became, following his death, a tribute to Louis-René des Forests.

Following the movie : "Au Lieu". A cinematic reading of the metaphor between the city of Rome and the unconscious, in which Freud introduces Civilization and Its Discontents. "A dream of a place, a stone and of présence. A photographic pilgrimage from the abandoned stairs of the vineyard of Guebwiller until Rome, Eternal City ..." A self-portrait by photographer Luc Meichler.

Reflections on the emergence of the image memory in its path from the subliminal image to an imposant image. How to imagine the unimaginable? A flash-a souvenir - a dissection table. A family roadtrip on a winter Sunday in the black 203 with small red wings. In the late 50s we would realize the reality of horror embedded in the territory of Alsace less than twenty years ago: a Nazi concentration camp. To see for trying to believe? "In the absence of truth, however, we find moments of truth, and those moments are really all we have to bring order into this chaos of horror." Hannah Arendt.

Research of cinematographic adequacy with the plastic and technological work of the artist Piotr Kowalski. Document on the setting up of the "Time Machine" exhibition at the Center Georges Pompidou (1981/82).

In order to describe the metamorphoses undergone by the city of Paris, Gisèle Rapp-Meichler et Luc Meichler began from Guy Debord's texts on psychogeography to make Allée des signes, the last Situationist film-essay.

A vanity. Shot in SVHS in 1995 during the destruction of a concrete church in the rue de la Roquette in Paris, the film becomes a vanity in 2009, assuming the degradation of the tape.
