The painting is re-contextualized in this video with a Bossa Nova soundtrack so that the couple appears to be dancing. The re-contextualization is antithetical to the original portrayal of these figures. This video is visually once-removed from the original source and only abstracted by a repetitive movement. The item that is being captured in video is a lenticular version of Millets painting (the lenticular has the effect of allowing you to see more than what the original painting shows and is itself an illusion of 3D). The video piece is of the 2D lenticular moving from side to side in front of the camera as though the viewer is moving his or her head from side to side continuously. Added to that movement is the repetitive Bossa Nova rhythm. The DVD loops continuously. The video explores what happens when you look at something over and over for a long period of time. The artist is interested in freeing the subjects from their representation as still and subservient. Pushing the boundaries of theatre, dance, film, music and visual art, we are Europe's largest multi-arts centre. Subscribe Like Follow Discover Listen Explore What’s on?\n
