Laure Prouvost : (THE WANDERER SEQUENCE 5)

9 Oct-10 Nov 2012

Overview

For her second exhibition at MOTINTERNATIONAL, Laure Prouvost presents the fifth sequence of her ongoing project, The Wanderer, made up of a full-length feature film and seven gallery installations. The film exists as a seven part sequence that has been developed from an intuitive German to English translation of Kafka’s novella Metamorphosis. Between the two languages the original narrative becomes transformed, if not lost, in its translation. Throughout The Wanderer Prouvost’s protagonists, undergo a series of increasingly bizarre experiences, in which reality disintegrates around them. Combining everyday footage with staged interludes, the film’s plot is constantly undermined by the disparate audio and visual elements with which it is juxtaposed.
