description
In ’Set [ing]’ the camera is situated in a closed, empty meeting room in an office building in the Paris business centre of La Défense. Using fluid camera movements the environment is explored and several relations emerge: between inside and out, horizontal and vertical, light and dark surfaces, between reflection and the scenery of the similar, high office buildings visible from the windows lining the room on one side. Short attention is paid to what takes place down in the street as well. The sound consists of fragments from an older audio work in which a woman pronounces words (numerals) in English and French.
