I've seen you on the dance floor
Patric Chiha | 2023
I've seen you on the dance floor is both an action and an ephemeral film. From the experience of a shooting, Patric Chiha proposes to get to the heart of the party, that special moment when a group of people around the dance floor are able to go beyond reality. The participants are invited to dance but also to be spectators of the party, through the images that are shot on the dance floor and that can be watched simultaneously in a collective screening. Dancing and watching, an experiment to transport us to the emotion of movement. At the end of the action, the film will disappear just as the night ends, but the party continues.
