Anri Sala — Passage à côté de l'heure
Anri Sala

Passage à côté de l'heure

2006

"Passage à côté de l'heure" is a video installation by Albanian artist Anri Sala that explores the relationship between sound and image through the deliberate desynchronization of audio and visual elements. The work typically features footage paired with a soundtrack that operates independently from what is shown on screen, creating a conceptual gap that invites viewers to actively negotiate meaning between the two sensory channels. By disrupting the expected synchronicity of video art, Sala investigates how we construct narrative and understanding when conventional audiovisual correspondence is withheld.
