What the video shows
Musical video, without words. In an exhibition room with walls covered in photographs, a white tiered platform has a wind tunnel grille in its centre. Visitors take turns going up there, alone or in pairs. Carried by the breath of air and the music, they strike a pose, dance, hold back a piece of clothing that is flying away, laugh. Next to the stage, a vertical screen sends their image back to them.
The montage alternates wide shots of the installation and close-ups of the faces and gestures: a man in a shirt doing a dance step, two women laughing together, a young woman in a split, another, arms raised, spinning around.
