a very fine lumiere indeed, extending the genre.
usually, it is about observing what might happen in the frame, during 60 seconds.
here, one (seems to) witness a combination of “staged” and “existing”, making it a nice double layer.
fine framing, also: one becomes aware that there is a larger space “under” the frame and that the chair might actually be quite out of place. if “staged”, the appearance, moves and exit of the person in the frame is very fortunate.
and, last not least: serendipity has it hat this short piece also is endowed with a fine classic dramaturgical time-line. (the climb, the discovery of the water on the chair (unseen yet to the spectator) , the victorious grand gesture, the downpour, the surprise at what the downpour seemed to have occurred, beneath the frame and so on.
ect…

A lumiere of agility and surprise! I presumed she’d sit on the thrown having made the ascent. But then we see the curse of the rainwater. And what did it pour onto when it went over the edge? Questions, questions…

The expressions made are hilarious, the comical ‘really?’ and ‘ooops’ looks. The anticipation of someone to tell you off. The expectation of someone else arriving. Takes one back to childhood.
