Tracks

HD video, black and white, silent, 20', 2012

 

    This sequence shot shows railways which were captured with a tilted video camera from a window on board a fast train. The parallel vertical lines move laterally when the flipped horizon appears, from time to time, on the right side of the picture. The landscape seems to unreel like a silver film with its scratches and evoques both painted movies and digital animation aesthetics. A simple tracking shot during a travel, dealing with the historical connexions between railroad and cinema, in silence.
