Floating, crashing, spinning, spitting, kissing… (10 min)
The second installation is titled Floating, crashing, spinning, spitting, kissing, beating over and over, not to
stop feeling.
About the life of a teen community, its rules and behaviours, this installation is composed of six video presented simultaneously on six identical monitors. This work introduces a group of teenagers left alone in some no man’s lands. Together they draw their territories, create their own codes and language. We follow them in their kingdom : under a highway bridge, in a car cemetery, in abandonned field and motels. The videos show intense close-up of the teenagers’ faces, their looks and gestures. Those sequences are edited together with long travelings of tornadoes and empty landscapes. The violence is growing and spinning around and around like a tornado. It is a way to draw the very specificties that bind bodies and places.
This installation plungs the viewer inside those kids’ first emotions, waving between tenderness and roughness.
