A week off - The ordeal of scentless
(14th Oct. 2006)
A tourist takes the bus to Las Vegas. Nothing surprises her, nothing is really different other there. Casino games repeat themselves indefatigably, without any variations. Comes that smell, that friend waking her up.
The video attempts to elicit what individuality is and how it is built by subconscious ‘fragrances’. It features pictures from Las Vegas that are retouched and mixed with other spots from around the world as the story goes. It also incorporates texts, people’s shadows, an ambient soundtrack and 2D bubbles symbolizing fragrances.
This single channel production is coupled with another video called ‘Toronto or elsewhere’. Both works narrate a week of holidays and investigate the true meaning of travelling, physically and spiritually. They are intended for looped projections which don’t require the full attention of their viewers.
