It is a film about time and work experiment. The form and the structure of the video, the use of numerical mediums and the sound, cause an emotional tension in an environment which is deprived of it. To execute this piece of work, the camera progresses in a snow-covered landscape. The video is divided into two parts of equal duration. During the first, it is articulated around the axis of the camera swinging in the direction of the ground. As from this moment, the image slips to the representation of space to a rhythmic abstraction. When the camera is raised we return to the beginning. Two successive sound movements corresponding to these two parts accompany the video.
Born in 1981 in Dijon (France), Thomas Leon currently lives and works in Paris. His work is articulated mainly around the video medium, in the form of complex and condensed installations, on the border of narration. His achievements were especially chosen for the following exhibitions: “The children of Sabbath 07” with the Hollow of the hell, Centers Contemporary art of Thiers (France) in 2006, “Multipolar” with the Market 14 of Leipzig (Germany) in 2006, “Filterbox” with Glassbox (Paris) in 2006, “the syndrome of Broadway” in the Center of Art of the Saint-Leger Park to Pougues-the-Water (France) in 2007, “Science and fiction” with General in Manufacture in 2008.
