MUU/ A/V performance

Une  performance  A/V d’une durée de 20 min, Muu propose des  images de l’Amérique désertique mythique, sous la thématique de la disparition. Le projet prend la forme d’un film western sans personnage où la quête est l’interaction avec le spectateur, posé entre l’espace vidéographique et l’espace sonore. La bande sonore plonge le visiteur dans un univers ambigu et déroutant exprimant à la fois l’immensité et le vide.

/English
Muu is an  20 min A/V performance  revealing images of the mythical American desert, around the theme of disappearance. The project presents itself as a Western film without protagonists. Its inherent quest is interaction with the viewer, who stands in the midst of the videographic and sonic spaces of the piece. The disconcerting mood of the soundtrack places the viewer in an ambiguous space, creating a tension within the video component and expressing vastness and emptiness.
