[july 2] Amazing article for "Parenthesis" 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Very grateful to Simone Dompeyre, artistic director of the 26th Rencontres Internationales Traverse Film Festival that takes place in Toulouse every year for her article on my film Parenthesis.

[french original text]
“Quand la parenthèse devient le texte central ; non plus une parole accessoire et distincte mais l’ensemble, le « entre », le « dans », la thèse, c’est-à-dire ce dont on parle, discute, cela donne un film de forte envolée, embarquant tout, sans distinction d’échelle, la nature, les constructions, les humains et les chats. Le Super 8 dans son grain, sa matérialité peint ce monde en traces, en traits fugitifs avec parfois, l’arrêt sur la femme souriante, sur la fenêtre donnant sur la montagne et sur ce dos de nageur/euse en seuil, préliminaire à cette excursion hors du monde policé et retrouvé avant de plonger vers les galets blancs. Cependant certains éléments s’imposent parfois inversement à leur taille : le corps de dos dont se devine la chevelure devance des cheveux volant, fouettant l’espace avant leur double en herbe dans la campagne. En effet, un relais de forme ou de potentialité attire le plan suivant : le soleil aveuglant puis la simple ampoule sous abat-jour, puis des spots sans localisation, puis la rampe lumineuse d’un tunnel automobile puis, puis. Une sauterelle sur du pain bien doré, un profil de jeune femme en intérieur, pluie sur rue dans la nuit, paysage de montagne… tout s’enchâine sans perdre haleine. Ces souvenirs sans autre tri sont portés par un bruit décisif que rien n’arrête, au volume en contrepoint avec les images de vacances, de soleil. Ainsi que la mémoire laisse courir son fil en parenthèse de la réflexion, mais en plénitude de ce que l’on a vécu et que l’on vit par Super 8 interposé.”
Simone Dompeyre

[september 21] PARENTHESIS @ the Millennium Workshop in NYC!🗽

Parenthesis will be a part of the exhibition Bookmarks of Discomfort Vol.2 at the Millennium Workshop in NYC this upcoming Wednesday, September 21st starting at 7:30pm. The exhibition is curated by the multidisciplinary artist Priyanka Das and includes amazing artists who are also wonderful friends and colleagues.

Bookmarks of Discomfort is a series of screenings/presentations to bring together artists, creators who address the idea of discomfort through visual, aural, physical and textual monographs. Often we confront our true selves, an assertive voice of being through uncomfortable situations, circumstances, crisis or struggle. Unfortunately, those moments of discomfort are often grounded on the societal hegemonic, both explicit and implied codes of being, behaving, experiencing, understanding, and interpreting. When we find ourselves in those discomfort/ challenging moments, we may respond to comply, resist, remain indifferent, revolve, reflect, observe and many more ways. These moments of discomfort present itself and affect different races, ethnicities, and individuals with collectives and communities differently. 16 diverse artists, coming together to present the idea of discomfort in their own subjective ways.
