 et si là, en dessous... (what if there,
underneath...) takes place inside a dark room,
approximately 3x3m wide. The image is projected on the
floor from above. The floor is black, as if the screen
was immaterial. The projected image is real time video
compositing of recorded videos and of the current image
of the spectator, taken from above. Everything happens
as if the scene was taking place downstairs and we could
watch it through an opening in the floor. The spectator
is invited to enter a circle close to this hole, and
when he does, a new sequence begins. If he gets out of
the circle, it finishes.  In the recorded videos, the images of bodies are multiple, nude and clothed, male and female, each attribute being drawn at random. However, there is only a single character drawn among the eleven participants. Thus, in a given sequence, twice the same body, nude and clothed, interacts dowstairs with the image of the viewer: there is no sacred body. The random draw leads to a great combination of situations (currently over 40). One can not actually go back and relive what he experienced the first time. What happens will be similar, but in relation with an unknown figure.  Finally interactivity is here quite different from what the public is used to. It looks like, it is reversed and this is thus the filmed characters, which directly pushes the spectator double in the image below. The spectator himself is free to move but cannot alter the recorded films.  |
