Anthony Faroux

Down, up and so forth

Vidéo | hdv | couleur | 9:0 | France, Royaume-Uni | 2011

The film shows a preoccupation with movement and stillness. It mimics the act of ?scouting?. By ascending the mountain to its foggy summit, it suggests a motion, seeking areas in which to pause and explore stillness; a journey through a series of derelict places that are rich with suggestion and significance. We are led to an elevated place; however, one where clarity is fading.
