This video installation is a vertical projection of the artist's body with a scale of 1:1. It shows in a tragicomic way a game where Julie is hung on the wall like a painting. The video also shows the transition from a fixed emotion to the anxiety this game generates when it lasts too long. The loop is built to be invisible: at the end of the game, the performer goes back to the fixed position at the beginning of the video.
Cette installation vidéo consiste en la projection verticale à l'échelle 1:1 de l'image du corps de l'artiste. Elle expose sur 45 minutes le passage qui conduit d'un jeu consistant à mimer l'immobilité d'un tableau accroché au mur, à l'angoisse que ce jeu provoque quand il dure trop longtemps. Diffusée en boucle, cette vidéo met en scéne sur un mode tragi-comique l'impossibilité de mettre fin à cette expérience absurde.
