États Transitoires is a performance imagined by Ill-Studio in collaboration with the Paris National Opera. It is a visual exploration which highlights the correlation between body, spirit and architecture.
Ill-Studio invites the viewer to watch a ballet composed of multiple and variable personalities of the same individual, played by Axel Ibot, dancer at the Opéra de Paris. The film presents a return to the fundamentals of movement, simply subject to the laws of Newtonian physics before being governed by thought. It is a cinematic analysis of movement in space, free from choreographic pre-established ideas.
Here, the body no longer responds to the mind as a cultural or social event but as a mechanical translation within a well defined architectural environment.

Directed by Ill-Studio, “Bring Your Love“ is a postmodern love-in with Joakim and the Rapture’s Luke Jenner featuring Bianca O’Brien.
In 2016, Chanel commissioned Ill-Studio to give their take on one of their most iconic perfume, Chanel Bleu. The video, featuring the voice of French actor Gaspard Ulliel, shows a perfume bottle warped. This came as a reference to our previous film Twisted Objects.

This film directed by Ill-Studio for Soulwax treats the title “Do You Want To Get Into Trouble” through the spectrum of adolescent life and its numerous aspects such as body image, attraction for risk, sex, new technologies, emotional change, sub-culture and rebellion.
The film stars French actor Phénix Brossard.
British TV institution Channel 4 gave Ill-Studio carte blanche to direct a short film for their summer programming in 2016.
The short film sees a man walk through the city of Berlin carrying a found rectangular mirror on his way home. While the identity of the man is never revealed, only what he sees is reflected back to the viewer alternating from the neoclassicism of historical buildings to the brutalism of the DDR era, and the postmodernism that followed the unification of Germany.
