The Master's Tools
The Master’s Tools is a film which is based on the fresco in four performative installation paintings made
during Nuit Blanche Paris 2017.
At the centre of a choreography of vehicles – instruments of repression as well as objects of fascination –
supercharged bodies rub shoulders. While dancers indulge in jerky hard-dance movements, others bunch up
to better resist an order to disperse. Further away, a vandalised limousine is at the centre of an exceptional
kissing contest. In close proximity to this contemporary “raft of Medusa”, a ballet of washers remove the
slogan “Tomorrow has been cancelled” which was sprayed on the ground a few minutes earlier. The camera
continues to film and yet you never know which side of the screen you are on – at the heart of an event or
merely a representation of the act. In this post-internet ballet, (La)Horde examines the relationship between
humans and industry.
