LOADING, 2006

42'', loop
The "loading" video shows the entrance of an
underground car park. This space is built in a schematized way, close to the
cardboard model. Identical vans continuously enter the building. Only the
signposting elements distinguish themselves from the surroundings by their
colours.
The action creates a tension linked to the expectation of "an event",
while its repetitive side tends to make the scene absurd and disconnect it
from its disturbing referent.
Therefore, while reducing elements to a minimum, we provoke a feeling of frustration
between what happens and what could occur.
