About the work
A trip from Paris to Juvisy is the context of this video. The images, moving horizontally with the train, place us at the beginning of the film in a Parisian landscape. This landscape becomes a portrait after an accident that occurs during the journey, and a “smooth” plot holds the spectators for 52 minutes until the climax at the end of the line, at the end of the “unachieved” trip.
