Corsica’s nationalist graffiti you could once meet almost everywhere, and in the most picturesque places, originated my reflection about contemporary landscape. I tried to answer a question: is it the landscape that merges with political communication, by transfiguring it into a violent aesthetic experience, or is it political communication that, by appropriating the territory, revives it as landscape? A texture of violent hyper-compressed video images, and a sound background made of endings or intros, from different pop tracks.
