Body Double 35

In Body Double 35, the second scene from Xanadu is reimagined, showcasing a unique blend of performance and visual storytelling. François Chaignaud leads a group of Muses who emerge from a wall painting, highlighting the connection between the physical space and the film's narrative.

The film was inspired by an exhibition at the Swiss Institute in 2016, where Dellsperger reproduced the wall painting, establishing a dialogue between the artwork and the cinematic experience. This innovative approach results in a reversed sequence where Kira dances backwards, ultimately merging with the wall, creating a closed loop of artistic expression. This film is an exploration of how art can inform and transform different mediums, making it a thought-provoking watch.
