ECCE – LAURENT MONTARON

BIASA is pleased to announce the first presentation in Asia of ‘ecce’, a video by French artist Laurent Montaron at BIASA ArtSpace in Ubud, Bali.
‘ecce’ (2018) was shot in super 16mm at the glassware of Saint-Just in France, one of the last production factories to use the traditional technique of blown glass. The film is made as a documentary and follows the process of making a glass sheet. The transparent object is hardly visible in the picture, letting the viewer imagining the aim behind such manual work. The incessant ballet of the workers evokes Beckett’s world in itself, animated by the absurdity. At the end of the production line, the imperfect glass sheet is broken and returned to the liquid state before being blown again, repeating the cycle indefinitely.
