Belgian filmmaker and visual artist Nicolas Provost talks about his flashy take on the classic cinema kiss:
"The cinematic kiss is probably one of the most archetypical images to be found in film history. Playing with the physiological and cinematographic principle of the after-image, I've caused dozens of kissing scenes from European and American film classics to collide. The reassuring world of multiplied kisses is shattered by a stroboscopic effect that plunges and looses us into the dizzying vertigo of the embrace, where love becomes a passionate battle in which monsters are finally unmasked."
Gravity, 2007, 6'30" will be screening at Walkers: Hollywood Afterlives in Art and Artifact at the Museum of Moving Image, New York, through April 10, 2016
