60min, 2008
60mm film HD 35mm Dolby Sound
Against the slowly changing backdrop of a 24 hour time lapse film shot in the crumbling interior of the La Tossée factory over two nights and days the residents of Roubaix re-live their dreams.
The dreamers all have a connection to Algeria and the dreams often travel to places unavailable in everyday life -whilst one man finds himself flying over his home in Algeria another dreamer becomes the President of France able to alter and change the country at will.
The dreams of others are released from their private night-time place whilst the abandoned and neglected factory is made visible.
As night slowly turns to day sound guides us through our reactions of slowly changing time where the only action is sound.
