15/52 Pelloche Ciné

52 Weeks Project

 

I had joy I had fun, flashing space invaders in Clermont-Ferran'...

Location: Centre du Clermont-Ferrand, La Jetée. "Sauve Qui Peut Le Court Metrage", the "Studio cinématographique", the center of the short film festival.

Coordinates: 45°46'38" N 3°5'21" E

Reason: This "52-Weeks" selfportrait is made during my 3-day road trip to the city of Clermont-Ferrand to visit, capture and flash (by the online game FlashInvaders) all space invaders of Clermont-Ferrand. Like this one on the facade of the "Sauve Qui Peut Le Court Metrage" building. A pellicle with space invaders, identity CLR_18 and worth 100 point, the maximum a space invader can be.

Invasion of Clermont-Ferrand:

The first (two?) invasion wave(s) of the center of Clermont-Ferrand occured in the year 2000 and consisted 8 space invaders, 4 of them are still there (including 1 re-activation) and flashable.

In January 2016 Clermont-Ferrand was invaded again, the 3rd invasion wave took place:

"At the occasion of the screening of the very last version of the movie Art4Sspace at the Interntional Short Film Festival of Clermont-Ferrand, I have added 31 new creations to the city of the center of France. Among various themes, they refer to movies and cinema but also to what Clermont Ferrand is famous for : its gothic cathedrale, its volcanos, its Michelin factories and its Serge Gainsbourg street" (Invader)

Other views of CLR_18: Zoom in and less zoomed in.

Weather: Almost sunny, 14° C

Self-portrait technics: Joby portable gorillapod mounted on a street pole, selftimer on 10 seconds.
