AS LONG AS IT LASTS
In its initial iteration, As Long As It Lasts was a Super 8 installation portraying eight couples kissing. It featured four simultaneous projections, looping and descending from the ceiling while traversing the space.
For the 35th edition of the loop, Léa Giordano has specifically recontextualized the installation to fit Rotondes uniquely sized screen. Shot on 16mm film, this new version continues to explore the tension between emotional vulnerability and the physical nature of medium. While hand-developing the film, Léa physically engages with the images, staying close to the material and its meaning.
Contributing to the loop with the act of a never-ending kiss offers a gesture of care a reminder that the venue and artistic home that is Rotondes stands for love above all. By presenting this work, Rotondes offers a gentle reminder that it is a place of equality, openness, and experimentation.ong As it Lasts is a Super8 installation comprising four simultaneous projections. These projections traverse the space, with the film looping and descending from the ceiling.
Positioned before these projections, the viewer confronts both the amorous couples captured on screen and the mechanical essence of the installation, composed of analog projectors with their distinct soundscapes.
This creation delves into the apprehension of losing a beloved partner. The title embodies the dual notions of insecurity and the concurrent operation of the projections. In conceiving this piece, it was imperative for me to establish a conceptual and technical foundation.
