Description
"Part of the "LIMITES" and "TV-DISTURBANCES" series
This work was created in two steps. First I recorded a sunset over Lake Geneva with a portable video camera. In these images a luminous line, defined by the rays of sun between the clouds, modulates the horizon line and then disappears. Afterwards, I introduced a white horizontal electronic line derived from the TV image. The possibility of moving this line wherever I wanted, allowed me to create a dialogue between this artificial line and the line of the sun. Here, the TV disturbance is used as a parasite that becomes a tool used to signify the image." (Source, artist's website)
