‘GRAND PALAIS deuxmilledix’ is an experimental film exploring the relationship between architecture and movement. The audio-visual production takes the viewer into the contours of the metal structure of the Grand Palais, Paris. The construction becomes the frame of the picture. Into the image appear silhouettes of fencers. The movements are slow and methodical and the contests are fast, concentrated and powerful. Viewers uncover a site where the material qualities of architecture compliment and coexist with a measured and precise discipline. Through this eminent Fencing World Championship, secrets, mysteries and liturgy are discovered. Here lies the ‘Champions du Monde’.
