Long Live the New Flesh

Director/Screenwriter/Editor/Sound/Producer: Nicolas Provost | Assistant Editor: Nathalie Cools
A deconstruction of the body and of digital film images: Nicolas Provost devotes himself to genre films and deals with popular motives from „body-horror“ films. Rearranging and resolving the original pictures opens up a whole new horror-spectrum that leaves the audience with a thrill of pixels.

New York as the perfect film setting: artist Nicolas Provost works with cinema’s narrative codes and plays with the audience’s expectations. Times Square with its policemen, uniforms and sirens is transformed into a cinematic environment – but what is real and what is just fiction?

Fragments from Akira Kurosawa’s film Rashomon are subject to a mirror effect. A scene in which two samurai fight each other becomes a cosmic field of monsters where horror and pain evoke beauty and joy.
