Nicolas Provost's first solo exhibition is currently being help at the Haunch of Venison, London. The film maker's short films play with multiple aspect of the medium, challenging sound, transitions, time, narrative and form, merging visual art with cinematography. In 'Stardust' fact is entwined with fiction, documentary art with hollywood movies; by a simple pairing with intense, emotive soundtrack and a clever arrangement of clips (filmed with a hidden camera), the film echoes a Hollywood film. In 'Long Live the New Flesh' Provost turns again to the mass media combining clips from popular horror movies in an fresh experimental technique, where each image morphs into another through pixelation and break down of images at climactic points so the end result is a new, 'whole' film.
