Special Jury Award International Festival of Young Cinema , HYERES 1977 A performance showing the source of discussion. Male speech (historically male). A gesture which is mechanical, physical, technical, or maybe sensual, irritating, monstruous….We wanted to detach ourselves from a well-finished product, perfect, ‘beautiful picture,’ in reality reducing and mystifying, of which the archetype however seems to be an advertisement. We combine sequences taken randomly, which contrast either aspect, or differentiated framework in a punctuated order. Differentiation corresponding to a multiplicity of speech, to omnipresence, and again to widening perspective. The images are uncertain, almost intermittent, as if not to give too much recording of sense. We have also looked to dismantle particularly beautiful music like male speech: tense music-depression-tension until the point of orgasm (classical concert has been recorded, at variable levels in order to make it virtually steady, smooth) Three voices are mixed-up furthermore, which enable snatches of conversation to be heard. It is also the representation of speech in its diffusion phase, like flood/flow equipment outside the weight of its meaning. Translated by Louise Jablonowska
