Stardust
Nicolas Provost, 2010, BE, video, 20'
Stardust is the second part of the trilogy where Nicolas Provost investigates the boundaries of fiction and reality with a hidden high resolution camera, turning the cinematic images into a fiction film by using cinematographic and narrative codes from Hollywood cinema. The first part of the trilogy was Plot Point (2007) which turned everyday life around Times Square New York into a thriller film. This time Provost takes his hidden camera to Las Vegas and uses the glorious and ambiguous power of the gambling capital to turn everyday life into an exciting crime story. With real Hollywood stars such as Jon Voight, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson as extras.
