CROTUS PILARUS

This video is a cool and minimalist observation of a house, its various rooms, and the discussions between two men and a woman. The camera functions as a silent voyeur; it keeps its distance, carefully framing empty spaces, lifeless ornaments and human presence. Here man is but an element within its physical surroundings, a sign of life, a bundle of emotions. The spectator is looking in the soundless spaces, faces and actions for a story, a feeling of drama which surpasses the trivial. The images contain a kind of emptiness, without past nor future, yet simultaneously creating expectations. Moreover, the gaze of the camera is never innocent, it guides our perception and it stimulates our imagination.
