Edouard LEVÉ
Anamorphoses
12 min 30 - 2000

A sheet is posed on a record player. It create a geometrical figure ((a square, a round...) or a word (a concept (realization, blindness...) or a name of artist or writer)). Then a second sheet, blank, is placed on the plate. The movement of the record player is launched. A drawing is carried out or a word is written on the sheet rotating. The sheet is stopped, and seen a few seconds. The drawing which appears has only one imaginary relation with what was announced, the model was anamorphosed by the circular motion. The process is repeated, exploring the relation between between a form and a legend which do not coincide any more.

Words cross space - a letter sent to a man of power - from "La promenade" (The Walk) by Robert Walser, white on black, intersected by landscapes of snow. These images are partly those of the place where Walser died one evening of Christmas whereas he walked, and where we discover his hat on the white surface of snow. Homage to the author, with his words that are impressivly contemporary (the last words, whispered, comes from a "short prose", "Retour dans la neige" - Return through Snow).
