Nymphea

2016 · 13 min · ★ 4.0

At nightfall, a young woman, nymph or mermaid, moves quietly through an aquatic environment. The creature appears trapped in the tunnel, her body seemingly extending into the inhospitable passageway. The light from the projection plays on the moving surface of the water, a clear homage by Ange Leccia to Claude Monet's pictorial research. This water nymph is embodied by Laetitia Casta, a beloved icon of our society, who here becomes a contemporary mythical nymph.

The passing time is displayed as a series of still frames, or a rapid sequence of moments, ever flowing like the waves that break on the shore, like a repeated chant with no beginning, middle or end.
