A collective smoke screen session. Is this the screen that is burning or the speakers? A wake around the fire, a cinephile rite in which some 16mm ghosts and remnants of pop culture will emerge from the smoke.... The tangible medium revealed by the dematerialized surface. Turning around the fire to find the right point of view, where the light lines are organized in furtive images, we observe its perpetual recombinations. After the spark and before the ashes... The smoke. With no goggles.
