| Mohammédia (le projet disparu), 2008 |
HD video, B&W animation, 1 min. 30
Production : Galerie Maisonneuve, Paris
Collection : FNAC / CNAP
Mohammédia is an animation film in HD video format. It is a digital capture of pencil drawings on tracing paper showing a landscape by the sea. In the foreground we see the bare structure of a metal support for a billboard or an architectural or urban planning project. The distant horizon of the landscape is made up of an urban and industrial complex. The video, which lasts a minute and a half in a loop, shows the drawings in "zoom out", that is to say that the whole image is revealed by the receding point of view. Everything is frozen in the image except for an abstract element, an indefinable object, attached to the metal structure of the panel. The film is accompanied by a soundtrack composed of a recording of the wind, of metallic elements that clash and of some simple fragments of music.
