…Τί κάνουμε μετά το Όργιο?… Ο Μποντριγιάρ λέει πως ο,τι δεν κατάφερε να πάει πέρα από τον εαυτό του, είναι καταδικασμένο να αναπαράγεται εσαεί. Η κοινωνία φάνηκε ανίκανη να κάνει υπέρβαση του εαυτού της, αγόμενη προς άλλους σκοπούς, και αυτοεγκλείστηκε στη φυλακή της εικόνας της. Σήμερα φαίνονται όλα «απελευθερωμένα», ο κύβος ερρίφθη και το ερώτημα παραμένει πιο επίκαιρο από ποτέ: Τι κάνουμε μετά το Όργιο; Είμαστε άραγε καταδικασμένοι
να προσκρούουμε δίχως καμία δυνατότητα διαφυγής ξανά και ξανά στα τοιχώματα της εικονικής μας φούσκας, σαν τον ήρωα του Truman Show; Εμείς θεωρούμε ότι το ζητούμενο σήμερα είναι να σπάσουμε τη φούσκα της εικονικότητας και να καταστήσουμε απτό και πραγματικό το προσομοιωμένο,
να σπάσουμε τους φόβους & τις μαζικές αυταπάτες. Τότε θα συνειδητοποιήσουμε ότι τίποτα δεν έχει απελευθερωθεί πραγματικάκαι πως ο δρόμος της επανάστασης είναι μπροστά μας σε όλα τα επίπεδα. ..»

Co-Kisser Festival (2013)

Le festival Co-Kisser a eu lieu le 19 octobre 2013 à Minneapolis-St-Paul dans l’auditorium du Minnesota College of Art and Design (MCAD). Ma vidéo Glissement faisait partie du programme Soul on the Road – Physics, Math, and Memory.

Glissement est une œuvre qui s’interroge sur la mémoire et l’oubli par le biais d’images héritées de mon oncle Camille. Cet oncle était un organiste de talent, un photographe avide et un homme très privé. Après sa mort, ses photographies et ses diapositives ont été distribuées aux membres de la famille. J’ai reçu des images de Madrid, de Rome et de Paris, mais il y avait peu de contexte pour le matériel. On ne savait pas exactement qui peuplait toutes les images. Alors que la plupart d’entre elles avaient une qualité touristique, d’autres étaient plus personnelles. J’ai remarqué que certaines des couleurs commençaient à s’estomper. Son passé, que personne ne pouvait expliquer, disparaissait lentement. Bientôt, il ne resterait rien. J’ai commencé à superposer les images, à les doubler en espérant leur redonner une nouvelle vitalité.

Immédiatement après la projection du programme j’ai participé avec 3 autres vidéastes à une table ronde qui était centrée autour de la question « Pourquoi choisir la poésie vidéo comme moyen d’expression ». Question intéressante et d’actualité, car la vidéo-poésie est un genre de cinéma/vidéo qui a connu un regain d’intérêt au cours des dernières années. Beaucoup de nouveaux festivals, qui se spécialisent dans ce genre, sont apparus un peu partout dans le monde et il y a maintenant un réseau international d’organisations[1]. Selon Jen March, la directrice du festival, le nom Co-Kisser serait une métaphore pour exprimer l’étreinte entre les mots et les images. Une action et une liaison ; étroite et intense. Les œuvres qui ont été présentées dans le cadre de cette troisième édition étaient à l’image de cet embrassement : hybrides, pluriels et souvent expérimentales.

Je remercie artsnb pour leur aide financière qui m’a permis de me rendre à Minneapolis-St-Paul afin de prendre part aux activités du festival. J’y ai fait de belles rencontres et l’énergie, je devrais dire la synergie, continue de vibrer.

Glissement (2013)

Glissement (2012) has been selected for the C-K Poetry-Film Fest – October 19, 2013, Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Glissement – (French, English subtitles)
Year / Format Video /2012 / HD
Running time 2 min

Description
My uncle Camille was a gifted organist, an avid photographer and a very private man. When he died, his photographs and slides were distributed to family members, but nobody was able to provide any context for the material. I received one binder with images of Madrid, Rome and Paris. While most of them had a touristic quality attached to them, others were more personal.

As I looked at the images, I noticed that some of the colours were starting to fade away. His past, that nobody could explain, was slowly disappearing. Soon there would be nothing left.

I started to superimpose the images, to double them up in hopes that the memories embedded in there would gather new strength, new life.

*PROGRAMME*

FLOATERS IN THE EYE (Antoinette Zwirchmayr, 3m)
The text of Paul Celan’s poem Schliere (Floaters) is printed with a Braille writing machine onto black leader, thus translating it into Braille writing. The 16mm film is actually readable to a blind person through physical touch, though projected onto the screen the writing transforms into an unidentifiable code of bright spots. These sequences are cut with sewing scenes, the sewing referencing the restrictions of (visual) language to a blind person, and perhaps also the limits of language itself.

THERE IS NO ORIGINAL (dir: Stephen Snell, Steven Chamberlain; words: Steve Coxon; sound: Ohmm, 3m51)
The film was created entirely on sticky tape.

The sticky tape is played through a specially adapted projector which creates unusual visuals. The experimental medium pioneered here lends itself to processes usually associated with montage, direct to film techniques and media specific techniques, notably “flayed paper”.

ONE MOMENT PASSES (words: Robert Lax; computer animation: Susanne Wiegner, 3m)
One Moment Passes is a meditative game of patterns with “is” and “was”; past and present. Three different time layers – the past, present and future – are put on top of each other to create the very moment of presence. The film starts and ends with a step-by-step perception: reading, hearing, seeing.

INSOMNIA (dir: Daniel Dugas, 3m)
Dictionaries hold all the words of languages and images hold all the feelings in the world.  A television show about the Big Bang theory adds to the anguish of not being able to sleep. What would happen to dreaming if time itself disappeared?

Words:

SIMON BARRACLOUGH
Simon Barraclough is the author of Los Alamos Mon Amour (Salt, 2008), Bonjour Tetris (Penned in the Margins, 2010) and Neptune Blue (Salt, 2011). He is the editor of Psycho Poetica (Sidekick Books, 2012) and co-deviser and co-author of The Debris Field (Sidekick Books, 2013).

This evening he will read “the planet suite” from Neptune Blue.

QUANTUM LOVE (dir: Laura Focarazzo; sound art: David Horner, 6m)
Inspired by quantum physics, the film explores the idea of uncertainty.

DRIFT (Mark Khalife, 5m07)
A couple lives on the other side of the world to each other and cannot be awake at the same time. The film explores dualities of time and through a circadian cycle spanning two time zones.

METAMORPHOSE DU PAPILLON (Dir: Pere Ginard and Laura Gines, 5m)
A revision / reinterpretation / rewriting of Gaston Ville’s eponymous film (1906) exploring the cycle of life through metamorphosis.

Words:

Tim Cumming
Tim Cumming was born in Solihull and was brought up in the West Country. His poetry collections include The Miniature Estate (1991), Apocalypso (1992, 1999), Contact Print (2002) and The Rumour (2004). His work has appeared in anthologies including The Forward Poems of the Decade, and Identity Parade (Bloodaxe). He made the acclaimed Hawkwind: Do Not Panic documentary for the BBC in 2007 and writes regularly for The Independent and The Guardian on music and the arts. His film poem Radio Carbon was premiered at PoetryFilm at the Renoir cinema in 2009.

This evening Tim Cumming will read new poems including Plate Tectonica, which features the mathematical algorithm as a metaphor.

THE SHELL OF THE WORLD (dir. and words: Robert Peake; music: Valerie Kampmeier, 10m39)
A sequence of 7 parts exploring patterns of belonging and alienation. Shot on iPhone and edited on a laptop.

KISSING IN HATS (dir: Stuart Pound; words: Rosemary Norman, 1m30)
The poem is a villanelle, a verse form where the regular repetition of two key lines gives added urgency to what is being said. The effect is intensified by multiple looping of the speaker’s voice as a moving path scans across four line drawings.

ANFORTAS (dir: Carolyn Radio an Alanna Simone; words: Carolyn Radio, 5m24)
The work was originally produced as a 3-channel, 3-wall installation and is being shown tonight as a single film. Anfortas is a stop-motion animation of everyday objects used to convey larger metaphysical ideas. Woven choreographies of red and white items are overlaid with a story intertwining creation myths with a knight’s quest for the transformative vessel.

MY FILM ENTRY (dir: Neil Ira Needleman, 1m50)
The director writes: “It would be too easy to write something here about “life imitating art” or “art imitating life”. But it’s much simpler than that. Here’s how I see it: the world has become a complicated place. Too complicated for me. I now seek solace, salvation and inner peace by performing tasks that are simple and pure. In a complicated and ambiguous world, it doesn’t get any simpler than this. I hope you enjoy it, because as soon as this video is over, the complications begin. Simply yours, Neil.”

Words and Sounds:

NIALL MCDEVITT (15m)
Niall McDevitt is a poet, author of b/w (Waterloo Press, 2010), literary tour guide (poetopography.wordpress.com) and poetry editor of International Times (www.internationaltimes.it).

This evening he will perform with a bodhran drum which is circular and beautifully patterned. His poems will celebrate the millennium, the drum, and the zero

4e festival international de vidéopoésie “por la tierra” (2012)

Evanescencia a été sélectionné pour faire partie du 4e festival international de vidéopoésie POR LA TIERRA.

Évanescencia  (2012) 2:28 min

Synopsis : Quelle est cette épouvante, cette épouvantable époque d’évanescence dans laquelle nous vivons ? Tout s’efface rapidement, brusquement. Ce qui s’était posé devant le regard avec tant d’effervescence s’est enfui presque instantanément, a disparu en nous touchant.

Sinopsis: ¿Qué espanto es éste, espantosa época de evanescencia en que vivimos? Todo se disipa rápidamente, bruscamente. Lo que se había posado ante la mirada con tanta efervescencia huyó casi al instante, desapareció tocándonos.

Hublot (2012)

Hublot est une dérive sur Le Rossignol, un texte de Anton Delvig mis en chanson par le compositeur russe Alexander Alyabyev en 1825. Le poème parle de la voix envoûtante du rossignol, une voix capable de traverser les océans et de remplir de joie le cœur de ceux qui l’entendent. Cette pièce fut composée par Alyabyev pour la plus aiguë et la plus agile de toutes les voix : le soprano colorature.

La bande sonore de la vidéo est un enregistrement de 1952 que ma mère Corinne Melanson Dugas, elle-même soprano colorature, enregistra à Montréal avec la pianiste Bernice LeBlanc.
