TAPECODE 9653
Une question d'optique, 1958-1992. Dans une structure elliptique, fragmentaire et associative, Discours des comètes explore la difficulté que l'on éprouve parfois à discerner le rêve du souvenir et nomme cette ambiguïté comme trouble de vision. Passage des images, comètes: corps, petits corps lumineux qui traversent l'écran, corps glorieux comme des astres lumineux, des impressions fortes. Souvenirs prégnants, homme-bateau, noyade virtuelle, rêves-tourments.
A question of perspective, 1958-1992. In an elliptical train of fragmentary and associative imagery, Discours des comètes explores the difficulty sometimes felt in distinguishing dream from memory; the ambiguity is called troubled vision. Comets: small and luminous bodies traced onscreen, luminous and glorious, celestial orbs, firing deep impressions. Pregnant memories, boat-man and the virtual drowning, dream agony. Now, as then, dream and memory give their accounts.
