This video installation is 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.
