It, Heat, Hit
Laure Prouvost
«This six-minute film requires all your attention.»
Pictures flash staccato-like across the screen, abruptly, fragmentarily. They are accompanied by an insistently whispering voice. The speed of the images challenges the viewers’ perception. »It smells red« hisses Prouvost in a voice-over as a close-up of hot smouldering ash flickers across the screen, just long enough to enter the viewers’ consciousness.
