"Fréquence d'étalonnage" — A series of 7 video-works by Elvire Bastendorff

"Fréquence d'étalonnage" is a series of 7 video-works conceived & realized by Elvire Bastendorff in 2009. This collection of very short formats focuses on "digital color bar" manipulation and test cards micro-editing — located somewhere between the spirit of Marcel Duchamp's "Stoppages-étalon" (1913) and the minutiae of Ryoji Ikeda's audiovisual works.

"Elles doivent être regardées horizontalement et non verticalement"
