Installation
Shovel yourself out

Video installation - Created for the exhibition Myopie (Shortsightedness), UQAM, Montreal, Canada, 2001.

Artistic design: Magali Desbazeille

" About fluidity and the ephemeral "

L'installation

A pile of sand and a shovel await the visitor. When the visitor pours a shovelful of sand, it creates a liquid screen, and a video film appears: long curly hair and a face looking down, as if emerging from the sand.

The film is visible for as long as the sand flows.


Still from the video film
