A simple video chat tool has become a space-remaking process. Here, the multiplication of places (intimate or not) does not recreate the feeling of continuity: they become contingent of their function of communication and seem to be simple shells. Poorly defined and choppy pixel surfaces.
Only the presence of the read text creates a 'binder' which leads the viewer through this series of images.
The edit was built over several months, based on 'video messages' that the Skype application allows you to send, receive and download.

Can a relationship between two people become as precarious as the images and means of communication that yet allow its continuity ?
