Film

This work groups together a series of short films using the same procedure : a passage, chosen and cut out of the newspaper of the day, is coiled then left on a surface made of black ink. At the ink’s touch, the paper unfurls, freeing itself from the gesture which had created it. The paper snippet thus begins to live and, at the same time, it reveals – as if in a fragile kinematic – a hidden content, the clues of events that never stop flying by. As it explores a kind of archaeology of cinema, this device refers to the passing of the time, where the ink, whether it is poured or printed, traces ongoing human history.
