Jean Gégout is born in 1994 in Nancy (France). He's an visual artist and a filmmaker graduated in the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris (ENSAD).
Through the traditional and digital mediums of images, his work explores obsessively different types of marginalities within popular cultures, both artistic and spiritual currents.
OMI-MAIKO STATION :
This movie is a fiction in the form of an audio diary. As we follow the narrator : “the investigator” - who is convinced the memory card belongs to the missing girl - we chronologically scroll up the videos that are stored on the DCIM folder of the card.
Not only do they show the outskirts of the town and the suburban houses where she was last seen, but we also see places similar to those found in Japan, near the small Omi-Maïko station, by the lake Biwa, not far from Kyoto.
