Upside-Down is a series of five photovideographic artworks that follow a similar basic rule: the photographs used are the right way around at the start of the video and end upside down. But the important thing is what happens between these two moments: the colors migrate from top to bottom and bottom to top at different speeds, leaving trails in their path. Those at the bottom meet those at the top towards the middle of the screen and their hugs constitute the climax of the work (which lasts about thirty seconds in the middle of the videos). We go from figurative to abstract to return to figuration with displacement. The images are transformed into moving abstract paintings to regain their original altered form.

Upside-Down III uses a photo I took in Beijing, in a kite shop.

Video Art Stills collection image

Stills from Jean-Michel Rolland's video artworks since 2010.
