The World Within - PBF05 / Eléa Jeanne Schmitter & Le Massi
21 January - 27 March 2021
Ode to.
An Ode. An omen. This video essay, this lyrical conjugation between text, image, and music is designed to broaden the perception of freedom in a limited context. It pays homage to the sublime, to that feeling of grandeur, of communion between what we are and what we can become. It is not taking a position on freedom epistemology, but rather a search for the freedom of one’s imagination. Recognising their position on this earth and all of the privileges granted to them at birth, Elea and Le Massi do not claim to have an all-encompassing understanding of what freedom means. They simply want hope to be felt as something both tangible and malleable, something personal, yet also communal. This visual piece invites the viewer to rediscover their senses and tries to evoke a feeling of detachment of oneself from reality in order to achieve a state of gliding weightlessness in which “floating” rhymes with “eternal”.
