Studio uses the same process, as in the first part of the video installation
entitles The End of the Day, only it is more radical. It is a 360° circular
panoramic shot of my workshop, which uses symmetry. The video proposes to
dilate the artistic working space, and to re-create the elements that compose
the workshop’s surroundings.This circular camera movement is repeated many times,while the pauses of the recorded image work as a an attempt to photograph the space objectively,however coming back many times on the same spots, in order to make a surprising observation on the way things change according to a random
parameter that is the choice of the filmed zone.In fact, the space is filled with everyday life elements, mixed with artworks and many other projects that change according to the moment when the symmetrical panoramic stops. Some of the sculptures’ shapes radically change from one minute to the other and become really different, while paintings are dilated or condensed according to the shot. As a result, the video acts as a metaphor for some kind of mechanized artistic intuition, recomposing the working space and the artworks in it as a permanent building site.
