Solitary Heroes
This urban video projection is inspired by a study from La Presse revealing that 30% of young Quebecers feel lonely. Contrasting this with the widespread use of the Internet, the project explores the failure of digital communication to enhance interpersonal relationships as promised.
Combining texts from various blogs and social networks with video clips of solitary heroes like Superman and Batman, the project intertwines these narratives of solitude with personal online expressions to create a new storyline. The original film audio is replaced by these texts, presented as subtitles, giving the impression they are the original script.
The dynamic montage, programmed to vary randomly, blends cinematic and personal documentary elements, transforming the fantasy film narrative into everyday life testimonials.
