A sci-fi tale, Waterlogue, Four to the Floor is a video work shot in the Alps and the Vevey region during an artistic residency in La Becque. Madison Bycroft’s film presents four people and a dog on a journey that poetically follows the water cycle. The project refers to Barbadian poet Kamau Brathwaite’s concept of the ‘seametrics’, which explores the history of the Caribbean, marked by colonisation. Through metaphorical snapshots, like a metronome-mirror, the artist evokes the rhythm of water, its memory and its potential for transmission. Accompanied by a disco soundtrack, the work deconstructs the idea of a rigid world linked to a western vision of the land. This project is an ode to water, bearer of past experiences and of a fluid future linked to the environment.
