you're a plant whisperer and for me, it's enough

you’re a plant whisperer and for me, it’s enough studies the materiality of the analog image and the relationship between the musicality of the image and sound, in an attempt to create an introspective atmosphere. The video consists of two monochromatic shots generated using a VHS video mixer, each combining with a figurative image shot on Super 8 film. Treating colour as a conductor of emotions, all the images evoke inaccessibility, perfection and dream, in parallel with a meditative and transcendent soundtrack.

514-835-9658

A telephone number constantly passes on the screen, superimposed on a fluorescent landscape, sowing confusion and absurdity. A description of colors becomes expressive, linking with images of bright, psychedelic flowers. The video bears witness to a playful and laborious exploration based on the integration of kitsch analog effects: image transitions and fonts. Having used a mixer and a video titler, the quality of the images allows a different reading of time and space, seeking to unbalance with fun and to reveal a delicate poetry. Unfolding in a playful tone, 514-835-9658 is a collaboration between visual and sound artists Charlotte Clermont and Julien Champagne.
