Installation
In Please Love Party, Pierre Pauze wonders what love is from the point of view of chemistry and waves.
After synthesizing a molecular love potion in the lab – actually a powerful psychotropic drug made from chemical components and drugs found on the Darknet – he transferred the Darknet -, he transferred the essential information into water thanks to a device of transmission device. According to the controversial scientific theory of “water memory”, it would be possible with this process to load water with information, to alter its molecular composition, in order to transmit data or to transform it into any substance. As this theory does not lead to a consensus, the drug thus becomes homeopathic and fictional, until proven otherwise.
The film shows the unfolding of a pseudo-scientific experiment in a hangar. It takes the form of a party where the participants are invited to drink the water thus altered by the artist. They are then subjected to techno music and to the bombardment of different sets of lights, in order to activate the administered substance and to study its effects.
