At the beginning of 'Captures/Ecran' we see a man looking through a hole in an old blank wall as if looking at a peep show, after which the image fills with holes. The next shot shows a street in Paris followed by a zoom-in on a demolished building. Furniture and photos are still present. The ruin is then isolated. Faces, fragments of faces and fragments of subtitles, of ten detailed and recorded from a television screen, rampage through the city. 'Pourquoi ..., Hélas ..., Aimer ..., C'est vrai ...' A violinist; television pictures loom up through his music stand. Television seems to be everywhere, and sometimes with a vengeance. This work reveals a powerful use of the specific characteristics of video
