SORTIR (video)

Stock Exchange Tower, video (7 min.)
Montreal, 2010

Filmed in HD from a helicopter, the video documentation refers to the innumerous shots of the illuminated city produced by the film industry The circling camera movement triggers a circular reading of the word SORTIR. The resulting gap between the semantics of the word, which implies a movement from the inside to the outside, and the loop traveled by the helicopter exposes a contradictory structure in which the word is inscribed in a cul-de-sac in which it is self identically reproduced.
