« Soleil double » is a 16mm film shot in the Roman district EUR (Esposizione Universale di Roma) built in the 1930s to host the World's Fair. The artist adds a second sun in post-production in order to produce the effect of a natural disaster or a divine manifestation. This incrustation of a solar twin announces a voluntary approach of temporal disorientation in order to question our sense of reality. The totalitarian architecture of the place and the paranormal phenomenon evokes a feeling of concern and fascination. This effect is recurrent in Laurent Grasso's work where the devices created modify any notion of temporality and send us back to a parallel reality. The artist re-actualizes the iconography of the past by projecting it into a mysterious and fictional future.
