zoom 2017

Directed by Antoine Larocque

ZOOM was made from videotapes stolen from a house. The selected sequences depict an absurd relationship with others and with nature through video excerpts filmed by an unknown person in Antoine Larocque's hometown (Victoriaville, Quebec, Canada) in the 1990s. The man who filmed these images was found dead a few years ago. He lived alone, isolated, and had developed a compulsive hoarding disorder. He died of a heart attack while playing the video game DOOM on his X-BOX. The images added to this question challenge our relationship with images.
