La Villette
Näsänen Elena
The framing turns the space between two buildings into a stage, with a parallel world reflected onto the rippling surface of the water. The tension in the piece derives from the movement within the image, accentuated by the soundtrack. The video was shot in the La Cité science museum in Villette, Paris.
