Interview - video installation

At the heart of the installation is an interview with the visual TV codes. It is in fact a generative video containing about forty questions and about forty answers. From these data, the software decides in a random manner the order of questions and answers, constantly renewing the interview in an infinite way.

By putting into play the place and the role of the spectator in the work as well as the manner in which the progression of the interview is generated, the artwork questions the shaping of an artifice, be it image or language. The illusion that the images or the support on which they are projected is supposed to be constructed illuminates its own disappearance and leads to perceiving the work as an absurd montage leading to the fight of meaning.
