Founded in Performance and Happening, the work of Anne Cleary and Denis Connolly has evolved in recent years towards digital video, though their work remains place related. Since 1999 their videos have been shown in galleries, art centers and film festivals throughout Europe. Rejecting the opaque notions of contemporary art destined for a closed circle of the initiated, they turn towards cinema and television in search of a larger public. In the year 2000 they produced a series of low budget digital films which explore the idea of fiction set into a real context.

A run down and over populated Parisien boulevard becomes the gigantic set to produce Scenes from the Boulevard; a series of 24 short digital films, one for every hour of the day, and all shot from a single point of view.
24 hours – 24 films, stories, performances, both musical and comical, choreographies, incidences, experiments... The day to day life of the boulevard, ordinary and extraordinary, liberally mixed with the performance of Cleary and Connolly - is recorded by cameras and microphones to produce Scenes from the Boulevard, a series of short films on the limit of fiction and reality.
