A cycle of screenings curated by Light Cone and Le BAL
How do we perceive what we observe? If no gaze nor interpretation is definitive, the work of Batia Suter pushes us to readjust our tenets. Confronted with the profusion of collected images, the eye is suspended in hesitation. Certainly, it recognizes the representations, but the montage between images creates a hiatus, an enigma that must be deciphered. Using experimental and artist films partially taken from the Light Cone catalogue, the screenings elaborate on three consecutive stages of Batia Suter's practice: collection, montage, and the test of the gaze.
Tickets: 9,50 euros (full) / 7,50 euros (reduced)
Screening + exhibition at Le BAL Batia Suter, Radial Grammar : 11,50 euros combined ticket to be purchased beforehand at Le BAL
The work of montage and progression is the connecting thread of this screening. Here are presented cinematographic pieces whose authors, instead of having filmed the images, have meticulously selected and edited them in order to bring about a new visual grammar traversed by synapses, as in the case of Gustav Deutsch, or to reveal a hidden sense through the use of subtitles, veritable components of the image, as in the work of Silvia Maglioni and Graeme Thomson. The first three chapters of the Austrian director's film-painting (Movement and Time, Shadow and Light, An Instrument), edited exclusively from images taken from scientific films «in the search of filmic material that is forsaken, doomed to oblivion», produce a joyous poetics of experimentation, nearly taking the form of a cinema lesson. Silvia Maglioni and Graeme Thomson, who will attend and propose a performative version of their piece, envisage «the material of subtitles as the aural shadow of a hidden film, whose dispersed contours lie within disparate images, silently demanding new modes of listening».
