A conceptual video on the History of cinema.
A minor 1919 Griffith’s movie, True Heart Susie. A forerunner of the hollywood melodramas. A moralizing romance. A paradigm.
A protocol of minimalist re-editing: only the intertitles are kept from the original movie, with a series of synthesized voices reading them in a random redistribution of the plot.
Orthophonic procedure: the movie becomes speech.
Analytical procedure: the movie becomes discourse.
Sculptural procedure: the movie becomes structure.
Synthesized voices are anonymous. They are stereotypes, simulated voices, which result from a convergence of codes. In the video they represent a movement of escape, an opening of the movie towards the anonymity of the masses.
The movie becomes objective, passes into a cold reality.
It is a point of projection, which collects thought.
