O.Ambarchi/J.Berthling/A.Werliin "III" (Drag City)
Johan Berthling (for whom I did two videos with his TAPE project) sent a message with the Ghosted album attached wondering if I would do a video for a song of my choice. Immediately I decided to work on "III". Two weeks later, April 2, my grandfather died. He was a street sweeper and used to carry a trolley for the trash. For that reason, in the village in the south of France he was called "Chinese". Thinking about him, I thought of my Chinese dancer/performer friend, Xixi, and asked her if she wanted to find some worker’s clothes and clean the streets with me filming her for this music project. We totally improvised, without any kind of repérage (location scouting) or preconceived ideas, we simply started shooting. The clothes Xixi wore were also reminiscent of her grandfather who’d also passed away and who also wore the same kind of clothes as mine. Reminiscence. Exile. Ghost. Disappearance.
