Lexical symphony 

2018

six videos

Video installation, variable dimension

The speech without words of « Chameleon » is accompanied by a “lexical symphony” composed of six video portraits similar to the election posters. The “comedian-candidate” works on the plasticity of their voice, interpreting a word of their choice from political language: security, value, minority, pollution, project, reform. The obsessive repetition of words pushes the actors’ bodies to exhaustion and empties the meaning of the words. Beginning with powerful voices, their voices finally reach a state of “fatigue” and weariness.
