Description
" This tape belongs to the series entitled "LES LIMITES". Technique: Play the video tape with maximum contrast and low brightness. Filmed in Epalinges VD, Switzerland. In this experiment, I intervene on the outline of my own shadow , carried on a blackboard. Using chalk, a sponge and a scrubber, I try to define this image which is both static and fleeting. The interest of this video tape lies in the document video of the action. Through the video image, it is a questioning of the different modalities of the same reality. (Here my shadow, the graphic trace of my shadow and my "real" image). " (Source, artist's website)
