Artists' Moving Image

Ludivine
Large-Bessette

Elisabetta Antonucci
Blind Wheels (2022)
Single-channel video installation, variable dimensions, duration: 8 mins.

Ludivine Large-Bessette is a French artist developing works on the frontier of video, digital art, photography and contemporary dance. In her protean works, the image of the body becomes a mirror capable of bewildering and moving the viewer. Whether by playing with historical images, focusing on physical sensations, or creating surreal scenes, the aim is always to take the audience to task, through various means, on the place of the body in our social games and its role in our contemporary environment. To affirm the importance of the body and its dividing role in our relationship to ourselves and the world.

Inspired by medieval representations of the wheel of fortune, Blind Wheels (2022) tackles our ambivalent relationship with tools and technology. From technical prowess and its intoxicating speed, to its runaway speed that can lead to our own downfall, to what extent do we choose to be actors, subjects and responsible for the movement of this wheel, an echo of our cult of progress?
