Nicolas Moulin - Vider Paris - 2005

Viderparis is a work based on a projection in which unusual and fictitious street landscapes reflect a futuristic Paris devoid of its inhabitants. The artist has meticulously reworked 50 city photographs of which he is the author himself, in order to erase any trace of human life. In the streets, the buildings are sealed off by concrete walls, there are no cars, no signs, no trees. An oppressive soundtrack accompanies this imaginary walk during which the spectator becomes an actor. The atmosphere created by the artist is that of a science-fiction film: his work must serve as a metaphor for the “clinical death” toward which, according to Moulin, humanity is heading. However, the random succession of images ensures that, unlike a film, one does not recognize here a story defined by a beginning and an end. The word vider appears in the title Viderparis and evokes both the depopulation of the city but also takes up the Latin term videre – to see.

Nicolas Moulin studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Cergy-Pontoise. Architecture and landscapes are the central themes of his artistic creations. The history of the 20th century, particularly the collapse of the Soviet Union, as well as science fiction literature have influenced his imagination since his youth. In recent years, Moulin has regularly worked on a collection of landscape images that he already presents in part on the Internet.
