So long as baby...love and songs will be

“This installation, loosely inspired by the jukebox and Scopitone, takes the form of four screens showing sixteen video clips, all illustrating love songs. These brief stories, which are choreographic, visual and musical at the same time, are performed by the protagonists: four singer-dancers and a joker animateur. Taking up this theme of love, the bodies appear in turn as pop rock icons, in a transformation, organic dissolution even, a multitude of images and moods evocative of the feeling of love. 

A song, and in three minutes, there you are…Carried away. You croon, you hum, you jig about, a whole imaginary world opens up to you. A suspended state, an interruption of reality, a quick injection and you’re off again. The effectiveness of a rhythmic concentrate, lightweight or serious, reconciles by sleight of hand, or a swaying sashay, desire, pleasure and satisfaction. It does no harm, it helps, it stimulates, it stretches and unlocks. Simply complex, it touches you and “step by step” it stirs you. And all this mish-mash, cash-and-carry of tunes, chords following discords, also builds the edifice of our imaginary museum “So long as baby…love and songs will be”. A nickelodeon which hops and pops… A song and dance machine, a sort of jukebox or Scopitone. There are sixteen titles which you can choose to listen to and watch. Just one, or two, three, four, just as you please, in any order you like.”
