Restlight video recordings from the Paris
Metro. Images of faces and machines dissolve in
their electronic image structure. A video about
the machine-like predefined visual mechanisms
and events in the metro that take us into the
world of daydreams.
Angela Melitopoulos has also referred to
the work as a reading of Walter Benjamin on
Baudelaire’s poem “A une passante”, which reflects
on the perceptual moments of the modern
city. The video reveals that we no longer stroll in
the world of the Benjaminian display of goods, but
move in functionalised and virtual, medial spaces
of vision.
