In this video, Laurent Grasso films the famous actress Carole Bouquet—who allows herself to be observed like a statue—from every angle. To produce his work, the artist surrounded himself with a team of film specialists (cinematographer, editor). The effects of blur and sharpness, of light and darkness, as well as the establishment of a slow rhythm invite the camera’s gaze to detach itself from that of the spectator. Through this character without a role, the stripped-down set, and the monotonous sound, Laurent Grasso plunges us into a hypnotic atmosphere that becomes increasingly disturbing.
