The Lid

“François Roux touches cosmic questions in an earthly way. In his new video, titled The Lid (2013), he has a reverent but disenchanted look on the substance that lies above our heads and we dream to touch, never succeeding. François Roux is attracted by the untouchable and insurmountable life phenomena, and by every contradiction they hide inside. He shows the immensity at its zero grade, in its irreducible poetics. A fresco of dancing images, made out of distant stars and small gestures, as attempts to touch them.”
