Ellipses
From one film to another, it's true that I often use the same images, to remind people, to create a universe, to show that my work basically constitutes a single work. I can also, like here, deepen a procedure used much earlier, in this case in Un film brûlé (1984). I had torn and shifted the images relative to each other (thus creating a long crack) which I had then not been able to shoot, the film being limited to a soundtrack ever since. Here, it is a question of creating in all possible ways holes and ellipses of images then of stitching these views together in an aesthetic mode in a joyous end-of-the-century apocalypse, of positives, negatives, 16mm, Super- 8, 8mm, black and white, color, enhanced, faded, but still found footage...
