Paolo Gioli (1942-2022), a central figure in the Italian experimental cinema of the 70s, developed, from his initial training as a painter, a body of work of over thirty films between 1969 and 2017, that parallel and intersect with his internationally acclaimed photographic work. Gioli's eminently “savage” approach to filmmaking, developed with limited resources, offers us a composite visual universe of fragments, but also “cinema-effects” in their natural state, like latent phenomena challenging the historiography of media technologies.

Featuring three essays written between 1995 and 2024, a long previously unpublished interview with the artist conducted in 2014, and a catalog raisonné of his filmography, When the Eye Trembles by Jean-Michel Bouhours offers a journey through the many facets and inventions of Paolo Gioli's cinematographic work. As a preface, the book is introduced by a new essay by Georges Didi-Huberman.

Bilingual edition (French and English).
English translation by Keith Sanborn.
Layout design: Jean-Louis Chapuis (Studio Warmgrey).
