Intersection

Urban space is the perfect landscape to experiment the plastic non-narrative experience of time. This video is a fixed plane of crossing streets of Paris. It is a confusing game between the fixed image and the moving image that is allowed by a parallel montage of two realities: the urban life with its citizen and its landscape. In this video, there is a decomposition of time by a simple principle of desynchronization. The moves of citizen and cars is dislocated In a perceptible choreography in snippet, while the urban signs of the parisian landscape camouflate the concurrent reality. Parisians are enmeshed In their city. The decoupage of the video’s temporality gives a particular and uncertain comprehension of the image between fixed and moving ones.
