ALTAR BOY AND HIS SINS
Three 16mm projectors + Two film loops sculpture + Digital live sound
Music by LeChatelier
Altar boy and his sins is a film-performance that combines analog projection intervened in real time, live sound, and scenic action. Structured in three acts, it reconstructs the fragmented memory of an ecclesiastical childhood. Revelations, and whispered confessions unfold through a flickering image that overlaps and decomposes. The dissolution of traditional editing gives way to a perceptual drift, where recording time and playback time coexist and contaminate one another, generating a hybrid temporality.
Three 16mm projectors form the technical core of the piece. The operator intervenes in the beam of light, playing with loops, filters, and lenses in real time, making visible its performative nature. The live manipulation of analog mechanisms, together with the musical compositions of LeChatelier, turns the projection into a shared act in which the connections between cinema and liturgy are brought to the forefront, reactivating the ceremonial character of the cinematic experience.
