Images filmed by a surveillance camera
in an airport, a shop, an hospital, a street and a sex
shop and which, through their mechanical eye, cover and
monitor a large city in Germany for about one hour and a
half without a break. The cameras are activated at random
from the top of a control tower and from various
strategic viewpoints, ranging from large locations to
small, from general shots to close-ups, from public to
private. These images are formed by remote control
from a great height, and approach the spectator as a
"great" consumer of these thousands of little
images of the world, while at the same time firmly
keeping him at a distance from these consumables and so
from the world as a whole. A potential drama starts at
every moment in this documentary material. The hypothesis
of the "accident", of the imminent event and
the imposing music of Mahler and Wagner give an intense
charge to these grey, scrambled and at times undefinable
images. Even when interrupted and allowing room for
silence, the dramatising effect of the musical
composition turns the video into cinematographic writing.
Our eyes scan and search for an invisible fiction
in these ordinary, unlegitimized images, in this stream
of coincidences. In fact this fiction in the expectation
of the real, in nothingness, in the relationship
established between these redundant images that have no
story.
