Fireworks

From S E B A S T I E N G O Y

The video entitled Fireworks seamlessly loops in silence, displayed on a large wall. It shows an anonymous urban landscape in the lower third of the display and an open sky of greenish haze. Sporadic drops of colored inks staining the sky, in a centrifugal course against the wind, are soon diluted, vanishing in the hue as slowly as they appeared. The simple exhibition of fireworks agonizing at slow pace, their foolish presence in daylight, amounts to a non-event, which accommodates more than disturbs the mere contemplation induced by the constant landscape.
