Resurrecting a toy dead during the tsunami, 2011

 

Video in loop

Duration: endless

 

Made on the basis of a photo taken by a french humanitarian during the tsunami in Japan (Ishinomaki, March 24, 2011), the image oscillates between the photo and animation according to the rhythm generated by the baby voice (the interaction between the image and the voice is enabled by digital process).

Video loops, endless duration. In the manner that Sisyphus rolls a boulder up a hill, this video is doing a kind of similar gesture in using the speciality of the medium.
