VIDEOBAR #57 : WOMAN IN THE MORNING SUN

A woman in the chapel contemplates a projection of Caspar David Friedrich’s painting, “Woman in the morning sun”. An instrument is brought to her, this woman is a musician. From spectator she becomes interpreter, actress then creator. The images of Anne-Sophie Emard and Pierre Levchin punctuated, in symbiosis, by multiple and direct references to works of art, embody the evolution of her music.
