Stretching is one of François Vogel’s crazy video and film inventions born out of his experiments with cameras and his work in the digital arts. A sequence of very short shots of undulating building facades on which the title is inscribed.
Animated frame by frame, a man in summer clothes performs a series of stretching exercises in the streets of a big city. Each exercise takes place in front of a different urban setting. Illuminated by city lights, only a kind of electronic refrain and a few rare synchronous sounds (yawns) or atmospheres (car siren) accompany the images.
