by Jérémie Danon, 2021, 26'
Presented at the 15th edition of Lo schermo dell'arte, 2021
The film is part of VISIO – European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images - 11th edition
After spending some time with former inmates, Jéremie Danon invites them to speak in front of a green screen; through this setting the artist de-contextualizes their narratives by presenting them inside imaginary spaces. The artist asks them: "Where would you like to be now?". Their words are animated by images taken mainly from the gaming world: from the city of Falkreath from the Skyrim videogame to the environments of the action and adventure game GTA V. The virtual images create a contrast with the words of the interviewed people trying to offer a new perspective at their dreams and desires.
