What would be more accurate before the hot summer splash than to be confronted with roadmovies ? From the Beat Generation in the ‘50s/’60s, to the European trend in the ‘70s/ ‘80s of ‘being lost in the cities’; the Roadmovies today are alive in the Homemovies on video devices. The myths of escape, exotism, adventure are no longer connected with geographical displacement but take place in local surroundings, familiar and intimate.

This shift happens nowadays on another level: the disguise in Fischli/Weiss films; the editing (Boninsegni, Raccoursier) by juxtaposition of various film languages; a different proposition of film (white cube theme); a particular shot device (Klopfenstein). The spectator is diplaced by various productions in different settings - as particular and special as possible - and finds himself in a new space of experience, which is as strange as the one encountered on the road.

proposition of a LIVE urban movie by iris gallarotti / kim sop boninsegni / thomas benard / grégoire blanc/ benoît de kimpe

white cube theme II is a proposition of a LIVE urban movie. The projection room is a luxurious limousine with 5 places where the spectator is comfortably seated. The shuttle begins to move: the film starts. Passing by pictures through the various screens (the low and large screens of the shuttle are perfect); on stereo, a soundtrack mixed live by the copilot (excerpts from films, popular music, a hostess voice). Through this device - predetermined road by the team precise stops on the road, the spectator creates his own story and edits his personal movie.
