A telephone number repeatedly pops up on the screen, absurdly superimposed against a florescent landscape, with bewildering effect. Poetic descriptions of colors appear that relate to the images of luminous psychedelic flowers.

In a whimsical and painstaking exploration of kitsch analogue effects – typeface and image transition – and with the use of a mixer and a video titler, the artists have created a work that is unconcerned with time and space, in an effort to light-heartedly destabilize the viewer and reveal a delicate poetry.

514-835-9658 is a playful collaboration between visual and sound artists Charlotte Clermont and Julien Champagne.
