Showtime is a guided tour narrated by a voice-over, accompanied by a video projection made of intertitles. The artist is present on stage – yet very dimly lit – and narrates a Premiere Night in a Los Angeles movie theater. Words act like a tracking-shot slowly moving from the exterior to the interior of the theater, depicting the crowd, the balconies, the stage, the void screen … As listeners go along the story, the Premiere Night slowly turns out to be a fiction, since the theater has long been closed down.

Recollection is an inventory of movie theatres architectures photographed in Britain. All those buildings have now disappeared and their representations stand for the countless hours of projections within their walls.
