En échelon

The formation of the video ‘En échelon’ occurs between an excavated architecture and the image sensor. Here the singularity of a subterranean site defines the work on different levels. In the progression of a linear camera movement traversing through the black light of a labyrinthian space, the edit of the film takes shape. A straight line is folded in multiple directions – black outs fade in, volumes emerge. As such, the moving image activates a mode of growth paralleling the unfurling mechanism of narrative threads. Every line is a different fold. An eclipsed/blind composition of sign and intersection that originated over a period of eight hundred years slides through the frame, drawing a hypothesis of erased narrations. In a sole cohesion of elements, virtual and real space and time merge.
