Ant Hampton - is where it all happen (Everything Happens Here)
Design / Production : Ant Hampton
Camera: Britt Hatzius.

Writer, director and founder of the group Rotozaza, Ant Hampton has created for The Window 41 of "Imaginary speeches" performative scenarios, shows for urban and rural landscapes in France and Italy. Different scenarios are written by Ant Hampton then read twice to people who are going to be filmed: one resident, or somebody working in the area in question. After a pause of 30 seconds Ant Hampton begins filming. The subject must repeat from memory "what happens".

sequences give the viewer multiple interpretations of different scenarios : Versions slip between past, present and conditional. People undertake filmed by camera with varying enthusiasm, remembering certain details or not. They build a network of relationships, permanent renegotiation between the public, the eye of the camera, the voice, the artist, subject, memory, language, time, landscape and imagined a scenario.
