curated & presented by Pierre-Luc Vaillancourt of Cinéma Abattoir
Toward the Abîme-Cinéma, Le cinema, l’apesanteur (Cinemas, Heaviness) exposes the latent image, the one situated inside the anticipated and menacing Spiral itself. Satanism, Nature, Love and Mysticism are all motoring against the opacity of the clear-image (Death). The perforations and fragmentation never become Symbol, and never were. Instead, if looking long enough without ever blinking, its essence (neither visibility nor transparency, but Light) is, and always was, emanating. It is in this breathing space (the Spiral) that the Light merges, not in the film, but maybe in-between the frames? (Look into my eyes! that each films whisper, Look into my eyes!). (PIERRE-LUC VAILLANCOURT)
