A march in the valley that bypasses the Manaslau. The ghostly but genuine presence of the Maoists prevents the artist from filming during the first few days. Then the militaries disappear and the image can exist.
A super8 camera captures the time of the march during which the mind slides, is fragmented, loops, is moved, and the video camera records the unfolding of time.
Christian Barani's conception of his artistic carreer is that of a go-between, crossing the realms of direction, diffusion, and transmission. As a video artist, he decided in 1997 to enter the documentary sphere for ethic and political stakes, and for other stakes linked to the representation of the human being in his daily actions. This research is based on a filming apparatus that transforms the shot into a performative act. The narration develops in fragments.
Christian Barani's videos are presented in Europe and abroad. He regularly collaborates for the Arte research workshop. As a teacher, from 1990 to 2006, he directed the video studio at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle of Paris, as well as workshops, conferences, and did research in experimental forms of educating. In the area of diffusion, he co-founded an association for the diffusion of artists' videos, 'Est-ce une bonne nouvelle'. These programs/diffusions are presented in France and throughout the world.
