We always go far away, always further with Laure Prouvost's films. Trips, dreams, bad dreams, fantasies, we are always sucked into sensorial experiences, where our thirst for freedom and desire for new horizons break the walls down, free the voices, and shake the good manners up: we lick the museum's walls, our cellphone, our television; we drink the petroleum from the ground, we snuggle in some cow's udder …
We ride on the free high way of our very deep desires. We always go further, we go where our bodies lead us, we fly, we surf to avoid the asphyxia and breath, finally. Evasion, a free ride in our cigarette smoke, pfffff, with music, an original soundtrack, a car ride, a motorcycle ride, it bombs, rap, hip hop, WYNN, Frank Ocean, a Californication's mood!
Films never screened before in Paris will be shown at the Cinémathèque Robert-Lynen: Lick In The Past realized during her residency at the Fahrenheit Flax Foundation in Los Angeles, in counterpoint to We Will Go Far (2014), a film she made for the Museum of Contemporary Art in Rochechouart, both dealing with group of teenagers and their dreams. And If It Was where she imagines an ideal museum, free from walls, open to all desires, without any fences. A bonus of short videos will be screened in the Cinémathèque's lobby.
