The event is over
Through his films the Swiss artist Philippe Decrauzat, nominated for the Prix Marcel Duchamp 2022, explores the contours of the genesis of the moving image and projection systems. Invited to present a selection of his works, the artist is joined by art historian Pascal Rousseau to discuss the role of film in his work and the role of machines in producing a vision.
Continuing his pictorial experimentation, Philippe Decrauzat's films invite spectators to experience the thresholds of the visible. Shot in 16 mm and silent, they are run through with references to the history of modernism and theories of perception. In the tradition of the experimental methodologies inherited from the late 19th century, Philippe Decrauzat explores the mechanisms of perception through the prism of their technological remediation, making his medium and its intrinsic properties the subject of his experimentation. To this end, he adopts the formal and conceptual vocabulary of structural film, the effects and significations of which he seems to replay spatially.
This session forms part of the international symposium, Visions kaléidoscopiques, a project co-organised by Lydie Delahaye, Éline Grignard and Marie Rebecchi, and supported by the Institut ACTE - Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, with the participation of LESA - Université Aix-Marseille, and LIRA - Université Sorbonne Nouvelle
