”Pascal Greco, the filmmaker who makes reality disappear before your eyes. A truly mind-blowing work.” Le Temps.
With this new 15-minute film entitled Place(s) Space(s) Pascal Greco offers a poetic journey inside a fantasized video game. Place(s) Space(s) is conceived as a work that questions dichotomies such as notions of space/place, the sensory perceptions we have when playing a video game, the possible mise en abyme of the virtual in a film narrative, the limits of visual arts and what artificial intelligence can offer as solutions. The original soundtrack is composed by the talented artist r beny. Place(s) Space(s) is inspired by Greco’s earlier in-game photography project and book Place(s).
The film is co-produced by SZKMD production as part of the Renaissance 2.0 exhibition. With the support of the City of Geneva, the Pôle de création numérique, the Loterie Romande and the Leenaards Foundation.
