514-835-9658 (2018)

Overview

A telephone number constantly passes on the screen, superimposed on a fluorescent landscape, sowing confusion and absurdity. A description of colors becomes expressive, linking with images of bright, psychedelic flowers. The video bears witness to a playful and laborious exploration based on the integration of kitsch analog effects: image transitions and fonts. Having used a mixer and a video titler, the quality of the images allows a different reading of time and space, seeking to unbalance with fun and to reveal a delicate poetry. Unfolding in a playful tone, 514-835-9658 is a collaboration between visual and sound artists Charlotte Clermont and Julien Champagne.
