It Has a Golden Sun and an Elderly Gray Moon » is the first film that artist Ulla von Brandenburg has dedicated to color. This film – shot on the main stage of Nanterre-Amandiers- is a long sequence shot, without editing, a “danced film”.
“From the moment color entered one of my films, I decided that the film would be dedicated to it. The dancers are in a white space, each holding a brightly tinted sheet. « , Explains the artist.
This video which, in its own way and through gesture, implements cutting, color and the body resonates with Matisse’s work to be rediscovered at the museum.
