After the first short film The Magnificent 4 shot in Brussels in 2008, Wooshing Machine was contacted in 2013 by Cédric Libert, artistic director of the “Design Detour Matters” Biennial in Hong-Kong, to present The Magnificent 4 in situ . The encounter with the Asian continent then takes place by clapping in the street, on the water, in the forest, at the top of skyscrapers, with or without a mask…
The clapping then continues its route in Asia from June 2014 during of the “Crossroads Festival”. On this occasion, two films were directed by Stéphane Broc, one in Wuhan, the other in Beijing: The Magnificent 4 in Wuhan and The Clapping in China. It will then be the beginning of an almost world tour passing through the cities of Alexandria, Macao, Marrakesh, Geneva but also Liège, Mons, Charleroi, etc.
Each tour is the opportunity for a new short film. Some are restitutions of collective performances, others proposals for the discovery of the visited city and its inhabitants. Each time a new experience, a meeting with the population and a new urban environment.
