In this video Gigounon once again ventures on the broad footpath between reality and imagination. Science-fiction worlds are all around us, the only thing we have to do is allow our imagination to run freely. Gigounon backs us up with the assistance of a couple of simple video effects, so we can let go of the trivialities of reality, even for an instant. This results in tiny phantasmagorias, like ’Jour de Fêt’e, in which skyscrapers seem to release themselves of their foundations, recreating the Brussels’ skyline with thunderous applause into a background for an elegant fairy dance, before they disappear behind the clouds– where they probably belong.
