| | Index. décimale : | 020 Installation vidéo | | Résumé : | Deux visages, un homme, une femme, les deux réalisateurs. Ils regardent fixement la caméra. Soudain, de l’eau est projetée alternativement sur les protagonistes. La bande son a été créée à partir de combinaisons sonores extraites de la vie quotidienne, mixées avec une composition musicale d’Heinz Weber.
Cette installation minimaliste sollicite l’intimité du spectateur afin qu’il ressente l’agression physique subie par les artistes, leur solitude… | | Note de contenu : | A screen separated in two. A split screen. Two faces. A man and a woman - the faces of the authors. Both of them are looking straight into the camera. The camera does not move. At the first minutes nothing happens. The viewer has an illusion they are looking at him. They observe him… They are expecting something from him…
Suddenly water slaps the face of one of them. The slaps alternate between the one and the other. Some of water slaps are very strong and painful.
The lighting changes as if the day is passing.
The sound track was created from sound samples recorded from everyday life in conjunction and mixed with a music composed by Heinz Weber.
In Wet Contact, operating with language close to minimalism, the authors drive the spectators to recognize almost physically the aggression, the loneliness, observing the male and female reaction, pressing them to ask basic questions about existence in contemporary society.
