Rachid (Safe and Sound Poster Series)

Rachid (from the Safe and Sound Poster Series) is a single-channel video portrait. Riffing on Andy Warhol's screen tests, the camera challenges the protagonist with flickering strobe and colored red and blue lights. The soundtrack starts as an alarming siren and quickly transforms into a techno track (Mule Driver). The image is projected on retro-reflective fabric, creating a boomerang effect: the strobe lights that hit the screen also bounce back at the viewer.
