Too Late
Performance by and with Stella Goldschmit
Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 June 2012, 5.30 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Two men between two ages, two worlds, between day and night, a big screen and a television… Two men lighted up by two screens, like in the intimacy of a bedroom just before going to sleep… From the two screens images and sounds follow one after another sometimes hypnotic, reassuring or upsetting… A sort of aesthetics, which is often used in films, both fantastic or horror movies.
In the room there is also a third screen. This is a tapestry, that captures, instead, the stolen lights, a sort of obsolete decoration, of pagan ex-voto.
From the big screen a blond female speaker gives us regularly pretty surprising short texts. The two men don’t try to escape from the room, they live in it like ghosts.
The duo Stella Goldschmit concentrates their work around the lost meaning of the word happiness within our communicational contemporary society. The performance TOO LATE belongs to a larger project entitled “Being happy PROJECT”; a sort of ‘mixed media’ and trans-medial project: photography, painting, video and show-performance.
A special thank goes to Philippe Labonne and Agathe Laemmel for their substantial contribution.
