OVERALL


     double écran

by Emmanuel LEFRANT

2006 / 16 mm / coul / son / 5' 00 / 2E

«Whilst the greater number of our nocturnal visions are perhaps no more than faint and fantastic reflections of our waking experiences, there are still a certain remainder whose immundane and ethereal character permit of no ordinary interpretation, and whose vaguely exciting and disquieting effect suggests possible minute glimpses into a sphere of mental existence no less important than physical life, yet separated from that life by an all but impassable barrier.» H.P. Lovecraft, Beyond the Wall of Sleep

OVERALL continues the project which began as ALL OVER. The creative process has become inversed since the primary material is now oil paint. The original film was painted with J. Pollock's dripping technique on a transparent film strip and then all colors were inversed in lab with a contact printer. The soundtrack was made using a signal processing environment called «Pure Data», calculating in real time the color density of the image.

notes The two reels should be projected side by side (they are identical, so no matter which one is left or right screen) onto one very large screen or two normal size screens/projectors which should be identical, with same focal length lenses, same intensity bulbs. Detachable speakers must be placed one each side of the room, half way between screen and projectors. The sound should come from both prints, one for the left side, the other one from the right side. A slight desynchronisation between 'left' and 'right' screen should be obtained by launching one of the projectors half a second before the other one.
