Les Psychanalystes et le Marché I 2015/ 2018 / 2019 I 3-channel video / audio installation I dimensions variable I installation view: ICA Philadelphia. I The 3-channel video installation, Les Psychanalystes et le Marché, places the viewer directly in the position of a membrane. The source video captures the sculptural and temporal nature of the set up, running, and dismantling of a street market in Paris, shot from a fixed aerial viewpoint. The three channels present three phases of the action concurrently. While the video documents the scene in front of the lens, the audio narrative describes what is happening behind the camera. The artist’s oddly intimate interaction with the psychoanalyst couple, whom have lent their apartment and terrace for the video recording, is mixed with an interior accounting. The viewer experiences outside and inside, the scene and behind the scene, simultaneously.
