This film by Olivier Fouchard can be placed in a larger whole: The specters of the schizophrenic chameleon (work in progress since 1995, self-portraits ...) series of self-portraits presented in the form of short films, experimental videos and installation in situ (La Nouvelle Gallérie in Grenoble, the Festival des Inattendus in Lyon, etc.) mixing video, cinema, sound, etc. 'he maintains with distinct mediums such as painting and experimental cinema. The decompartmentalization of disciplines and mediums so rehashed by art school teachers, artists, critics (new academism?) Etc ... seems problematic to the author of these lines. Olivier Fouchard tries to separate them again into distinct practices which sometimes meet… No! Painting is not cinema, cinema is not music, video is not dance, plastic arts are not theater, architecture is not sculpture, etc ... O.F.
