Underground car parks are like circles of hell: the lower you descend, the more threatening they seem. A garage, a place of neon-lit metropolitan fantasies, is the scene of an unsettling duel.
A motorcyclist in a full-face helmet, on his metal beast, glimpses a graceful figure in the dark. The two meet in an unusual fight. They confront each other and engage in an aggressive and sensual duel, a dance of life and death to the notes played live by Marie-Pierre Brébant's harpsichord.
Francois Chaignaud and Théo Mercier draw us into an experience that questions gender roles, mixing ancient courtship rituals with engine roars.
A personal siege of fierce beauty amidst baroque music and the smell of petrol.
Instead of seeking a point of balance between genres, Chaignaud opts instead for a permanent imbalance: it is by constantly turning, swinging from one trampoline to another, that he stands.
