Film series on the occasion of the exhibition Barbara Probst - The Moment in Space (10 May - 25 August 2019) at Le BAL
Shot reverse shot, proliferating points of view, the declination and iteration of an action: just a few of the various protocols employed by the filmmakers in this film series to represent a single moment or a unity of space in a manifold way. Time becomes matter, sensation, kinetic energy, challenging the spectator in his attempt to decipher the real.
From the détournement of advertising codes by an endless repetition of events in Peter Kubelka’s Dichtung und Wahrheit (Poetry and Truth), to the structural and cubist treatment of time’s unfolding in the work of Chris Gallagher, to the exploration of a given space bound by a repetitive matrix in the case of Arthur & Corinne Cantrill, each of these films presents a set of temporal enigmas that respond to the idea of a discontinuous reality. For their part, Joyce Wieland and Hollis Frampton play on their reflexive presence in a kind of contemporary reference to Dziga Vertov's Man with a Movie Camera, where the shot reverse shot technique employed by the filmmakers disturbs our notion of the present moment. In the case of Richard Tuohy and Dianna Barrie, the element that distorts space and time is the filmmakers’ use of superimposed street scenes, creating a vertiginous multiplicity of points of view at any given instant. Finally, building on the base of just of a few still frames of Dominique Noguez climbing and descending the same staircase, in Sensitométrie III, Patrice Kirchhofer dilates and reiterates time, as he, in the words of Nicole Brenez, 'explores in this film all the possible rhythms, placing value in irregularity, difference, dicontinuity.'
