STANDING OVATION

The original soundtrack of a clip excerpted from Jean Renoir’s short film ‘Une partie de campagne’ (1936) picturing a river under heavy rain has been switched. Applauses in a concert hall are here recalling the sound of the rain. The video was originally edited as part of an in-situ installation during a concert by Martha Argerich at the Royal Music Academy. The audience was confronted with its own picture. Recorded and real times applauses were mixed during a magic instant when people in the audience were confronted with themselves as a full dimension of the installation aesthetically and formally.
