Pygmalion Event comprises two synchronized 16mm films that take up by indirection the allegory of the sculptor Pygmalion, who fell in love with a statue he was carving and willed it to life.  One channel shows a priest donning a series of fantastical colored vestments designed by Henri Matisse for the Chapelle du Rosaire de Vance.  The other collects a series of images: a sailboat, a coffee cup, arid cliffs, an orange, and a teenager gracefully turning in a park.  These pictograms appear at some moments to respond to the images of the priest’s transformations, as though they were the outward signs of his protestations of faith.   At other times, they seem to form an independent narrative, structured by a logic of associative thinking, as though it was an ordered daydream.
