49 Flies de Pierre Hébert
May 11th, 2011
At 7:30 p.m. at Ciné 104, Pantin
Live animation performance followed by a discussion with the artist
Recorded images are quickly erased and continuously replaced by new drawings, produced as the performance develops. Simultaneously, three superimposed animated films are altered by changes in speed, size and direction. A very special experience of time, both static and spectacular. The soundtrack based on a recording of flies trapped between two window panes evokes confinement and claustrophobia. Combined with the panic of the images, it endows everything with an almost Kafkaesque character of metamorphosis.
