VIDEO WORK (VERTICAL)
HD single channel color video 3:02 min in loop; 70x125 cm projection on reflective fabric
Rachid is a single channel vertical video loop. Following the Warholian tradition of screen tests, the person shot is challenged by flickering hazard-like lights.
The only info on display is his name, Rachid, assuring us of his presumed origin. The music adjusts with the visuals: occasionally on the police’s side (sirens), occasionally on the dancefloor (techno).
The projection is screened on a reflective fabric, so the strobe lights are not only aimed at the protagonist, but also bounce back at the one who is watching.
