Ange Leccia’s mobile video arrangements, Adolescence, were screened throughout New York City on the side of a HavaVision truck. For Leccia’s project, this nomad billboard—normally reserved for corporate advertising—served to probe the tension between sensual imagery and society’s discomfort with voyeurism.

Adolescence traveled throughout four boroughs, making stops at various cultural centers along the way; it also complemented a concurrent show of Leccia’s video and sound installations, Yes, She Does, at Clinica Aesthetica. Additionally, Ille de Beaute, a film directed by Leccia and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, was screened at Tonic, and the artist’s video La Mer was shown on the World Financial Center Winter Garden video wall.
