The articulation of audio-visual effects in Philippe Grandrieux’s Sombre (1998) and Un Lac (2009) effectively accounts for the non-anthropogenic world without relying upon its mediation through representation. Through a series of complex formal manipulations of their visual and sonic components, both films shape and inscribe the potential of depicting non-human entities in film beyond paradigms of narration and illustration. Building upon significant works by Gilles Deleuze as well as contemporary scholarship mobilizing some of Deleuze’s concepts, this research approaches two of Grandrieux’s feature films for their unstriated accounts of the non-anthropogenic world. More precisely, this analysis points to the way they frame this world’s qualitative capacity to form territorial arrangements or its potential to convey logics of sensation. Through a close audio-visual analysis of both Sombre and Un Lac, this research endeavor aims to examine epistemologies that account for the depiction of the non-anthropogenic world beyond the Anthropocene. At the same time, it seeks to understand how these same epistemologies account for depiction of relationships in between the anthropogenic world and the non-anthropogenic world in ways that elude their conception in subjectivity.
