The Flight of Icarus

The Flight of Icarus

The Fall of Icarus proposes the magnification by the camera of a concrete material, the simple sand placed on a flat screen illuminated from behind, to reveal the changes of form and the movements of the matter once in contact with the elements: water, fire, earth and air. Particular care has been taken in the correspondence between sound and image: the compositions of the image (colors, knots of density, movements) surprisingly find their equivalence on the sound level in the music of Mireille CHAMASS.
