loop #35 - Léa Giordano (LU)
In its initial iteration, As Long As It Lasts was a Super 8 installation portraying eight couples kissing. It featured four simultaneous projections, looping and descending from the ceiling while traversing the space.
For the 35th edition of the loop, Léa Giordano has specifically recontextualized the installation to fit Rotondes’ uniquely sized screen. Shot on 16mm film, this new version continues to explore the tension between emotional vulnerability and the physical nature of medium. While hand-developing the film, Léa physically engages with the images, staying close to the material and its meaning.
Contributing to the loop with the act of a never-ending kiss offers a gesture of care – a reminder that the venue and artistic home that is Rotondes stands for love above all. By presenting this work, Rotondes offers a gentle reminder that it is a place of equality, openness, and experimentation.
