À l’occasion de l’exposition DUST, Histoires de poussières, d'après Man Ray et Marcel Duchamp, Light Cone propose une programmation de films expérimentaux et de films d’artistes issus de son catalogue et de diverses collections.
À partir de trois axes, les séances s’appuient sur ce que David Campany commissaire de l’exposition cherche à mettre en évidence dans les nombreuses œuvres sélectionnées : une fascination pour les forces de la nature, l’étrangeté de formes à la frontière de la perception et les mystérieuses beautés issues du monde minéral.
« It is strange to think that nature, which can neither draw nor paint any likeness, sometimes creates the illusion of having done so, while art, which has always been successful at resemblances, renounces its traditional, almost inevitable and 'natural' vocation and turns to the creation of such forms as nature itself abounds in – mute, unpremeditated, and without a model. » Roger Caillois (L’Écriture des pierres, Skira, Genève, 1970). An interest in the mineral world and its diversity is apparent in the work of many artists. Jean Painlevé and Thorsten Fleisch unveil the hidden splendour of crystals, Helene Garberg takes us into the stony depths of Mexico, and Nathaniel Dorsky reveals the concealed wonders of the desert in Alaya, a film eleven years in the making.
