“Brune Renault is a kind of looped fiction that happens in a car sliced in four parts resting on small wheels, basically a sculpture. Since we can open the car, we can make impossible camera shots, moving in and out of the object. The goal of the piece was to have this car cut in four parts to give the illusion of movement, which is a paradox. I wanted the sculpture to mutate into a functional object (real car), once viewers were starting to follow and “suspend disbelief” for the fiction. And then, make the fiction being lost to have the video’s function to mutate into a document about the usual contemporary art sculpture. The impossible camera shots showing the cuts of the cars had to be the disturbing element that should betray the fiction, but then again the power of fiction is hard to break down.” (NB)
