Synopsis:
The video shows the camouflage of a person in front of a full open fridge in a garden in summer. The camera is turning around the fridge to give both the impression of dizziness created by the circular motion and to create the desire for the camera to stop in order for the viewer to be able to see the camouflage properly.
Circling [Video project] January 2002- 2003
The Circling video project deals with the circling of the camera around an object or a person taken from installations and performance/experimental videos. The circling of the camera can assume a ritual function, circle out a narrative space, have a symbolic meaning, be a formal experiment or have an all-embracing view as a goal: despite the precise localization by the movement of the camera, the orientation becomes obscure, removing the onlooker from his esthetic distance and involving him in the action.

Synopsis:
La video montre une personne camouflée devant un frigidaire sur une colline l'été. La camera tourne autour du sujet central en ralentissant à chacun de ses passages sur le camouflage mais pas suffisament longtemps pour laisser au spectateur le loisir de le voir complètement et de manière satisfaisante, ceci de facon à creuser chez lui le désir que la camera s'arrete de tourner et ainsi que cesse cet impression de " tournis " (" to be dizzy " en anglais)
