Seduction table

Video installation, 1999

Artistic design: Magali Desbazeille

" About seduction, shyness, audacy, love, tenderness, awkwardness; about him, blushing, deception, desire, faces probably thinking about... about her, never-ending time, hope, embarrassment, about little things that remind me of you "

When a visitor sits down, he or she discovers a couple seducing one another.

The glass top of a table is covered with latex table cloth which acts as a screen for a video projected from underneath.
The film alternately presents the seduction from two points of views: underneath and above the table.


In the "under the table" point of view, we see the seductive play of legs and feet of a couple sitting at the table.

The second, "over the table" view point is a false mirror image. The couple was filmed from underneath. The visitor watches their game of seduction and the hand gestures that correspond.
