Live From Neverland is part of my ongoing series of works with found footage, a recreation of a public statement Michael Jackson read on television around the world in 1993. I chose the footage less for the content of the speech and more for the global recognition factor. This televisual image of Jackson is also just a visually arresting image with a dream-like quality to it, thanks to the saturated colors and the shocking whiteness of his face. [...] The scene seems staged and affected. This footage is paired with a second video image showing a chorus of 80 men and women performing Jackson’s monologue in unison. [...] I slowed down the Jackson footage, synching the movement of his mouth to match the measured pace of the chorus. In the resulting slow motion image, Jackson appears to be struggling to speak, as though he’s stuck in some viscous medium and can barely move.

A walk in the promenade. The film traces a trajectory – from inside to outside, from shadow to light, from Vassiliu to Pierre, from the intimate to the public, from the past to the present. The film sounds like a song – one of which we remember the tune, sing a few couplets of and listen to the chorus with pleasure. Each outing is full of surprises and wonderful encounters. Meetings of emerging songs. A staging in small touches – like a chorus. At home, Pierre gets dressed, gets ready, gets dressed, puts on his stage shirt. Once outside, Pierre crisscrosses Sète. A port city where the incentive to travel is almost permanent. Pierre touches the people he meets with humor. The succession of these encounters places the film in the present.
