EFFORTS (Decathlon)
– 2007 / 00:14:00'
Efforts has a simple concept: "to reverse what the audience sees and to make us see what the athletes look at, what they feel at the moment of their effort. To express this inner sensory universe, I chose to equip an athlete with a small camera fixed at eye level - a subjective camera.
This technique, with the athlete's physical limits and the material, gives a mirror effect of the performance itself. A one time shot. In case of a failure, the project could collapse. The athlete and I were bound to the success of the experience."
This movie is exposed and screened part of the itinerant exhibition "Sport in Art" now in the MOCA of Shangai and till august 2008 in the biggest chinese contemporary art museums.
