Quand David Bowie rencontre le street art et la scie musicale...
Ce clip propose une illustration de la chanson "Life on Mars?" de David Bowie sous forme de graffitis où les paroles de la chanson appariassent de manière subliminale. Le thème de la chanson originale reposant d'une part sur constat désabusé d'un monde décevant et d'autre part sur l'idée d'une ascension vers un ailleurs, j'ai décidé de confronter les limites dressées par un paysage urbain et l'infini cosmique gagné par la rêverie au fil des errances le long des murs délabrés. Le mur présenté comme limite infranchissable, devient espace d'expression et point d'origine du départ vers l'ailleurs. où l'ascension se veut progressive.
"Life on Mars, c'est une vision cosmique à un arrêt de bus" entendis-je un soir, d une oreille distraite. Ces mots (qui étaient en réalité, ceux de John Harris, un écrivain journaliste, m ont inspiré l'écriture de ce clip.


Paroles de Life on Mars:

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on Amerika's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
