Exploding Camera
Julien Maire (FR)
Prix Ars Electronica 2007 “Hybrid Art. Honorary Mention.”
Constructed with the dissected body of a video camera lying on a table, Exploding Camera is a kind of destroyed medium able to produce live an experimental historical film reinterpreting the events of the war since 2001. The video images
are produced live by direct illumination of the camera’s light sensor. Dots of light spread throughout the space, are recorded by the camera and trigger light explosions. By using theatrical methods and turning the exhibition space into an experimental film studio thought of as a battlefield, the “exploding camera” expresses the stupidity and importance of the
actual facts in relation to a historic fact and through its process of image production.
Co-produced by the Rotterdam Film Festival 2007
