Interactive installation, 2008
A video of a fitness lesson, given by a coach in regular conditions with techno music and costume, and a low white socle face each other in a room. A soon as a visitor puts a foot on the socle, the speed of the video begins to slow down, until getting completely freezed if the spectator climbs on the plinth. The sound is reacting as well, the voice remaining comprehensible but slowing down until its extreme limit.
A general and paradoxal loop is established between the fitness coach and the public : the “double bind” of an impossible imitation, and the never-resolved transfer of the artwork between the image and the spectator’s body.
