  The purpose of this work is to geometrize the notion of mixed Hodge
structure. Therefore, we associate equivariant vector bundles on the projective
plane to trifiltered vector spaces. Making this Rees construction with
filtrations arising from mixed Hodge structures gives an equivalence of
categories between the category of mixed Hodge structures and a category of
equivariant vector bundles on ${\bf P}^{2}_{\bf C}$ that are semistable for a
semistability condition with respect to a divisor. Using this dictionary we can
recover geometrically some properties of mixed Hodge structures like the
abelian caracter of the category of mixed Hodge structures or the fact that
higher extensions vanish.
  Next, looking at the second Chern class of the Rees bundles, we define the
${\bf R}$-split level of the mixed Hodge structures that generalize the notion
of ${\bf R}$-split mixed Hodge structure. This invariant can be expressed in
terms of the Hodge numbers $h^{p,q}$ and some Hodge-type integers $s^{p,q}$
that are given by the relative position of the Hodge and conjugate filtrations.
When the Hodge numbers are constant for a family of mixed Hodge structures,
these numbers vary semicountinously. This allows to define stratifications of
the bases of variations of mixed Hodge structures.
