WILDLAND (2010)

two-channel video installation, running time 4 minutes
Artists : Valérie Leray & Chun-chi Wang

Concept:

Wildland is a poetic contemporary representation of the place of the body's woman in our society, the posture of the woman in this kind of landscape. It refers to the painting of the birth of Venus from Botticelli and a trivial posture of women in the contemporary image. Composer "balancing_missing 2007" by Pei-Wen Liu.
