Adrien Giraux -
EXHIBIT:  SCENOGRAPHY
FILM: ART DIRECTION

In the lower gallery at the Palais de Tokyo, Jesper Just creates an audiovisual installation and a vast spatial intervention which transform the existing space and the visitor’s journey. The videos, at once independent and interconnected, explore the idea that the metropolis is an entity with a body. The films follow two characters: a young girl and a disabled child, played respectively by Dree Hemingway and Rylee Sweeney. The young girl does not appear as an individual but instead embodies the ideals of youth and femininity conveyed by contemporary society. They are linked through the presence and manipulation of sound.
