“Nymphéa”
Ange Leccia

A woman calmly floats about in her aquatic environment.
This presence of water in the image creates a blurring effect and the result is deeply disturbing. This sprite is embodied by Laetitia Casta, an icon of our society who here becomes a contemporary mythical nymph.

Born in 1959 and former resident of the Villa Medicis in Rome, Ange Leccia is now Director of the pedagogical unit at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. First a painter, he then decided to use the video as his creative medium. His “arrangements”, as he likes to call them, are born from people he meets mixed with a specific alteration of still images and moving images; which can either be torn, slowed down or cut.
