Future is back:les Déchirures

Video | | black and white | 1:53 | France | 2007

In this film, the theme of division is explored in three ways : the tear (the movement) - THE ACTION. The cuts (the words) - THE SOUND. And the separation between the action taking place and the sound. Charlotte Rampling sits turning back to us. We can see her tearing or cutting something imprecise. At the same time we can hear her voice but we don't know if it's a foreign language or invented words. Her voice is recorded off. The words we hear are an excerpt of the gardener's song in "Sylvie and Bruno" by Lewis Carroll. This text is told in french and english in a sliced, unstructured and clipped way, by punctual stops and resumptions. This deconstruction of the language is enough, by making us lose our bearings, to gets us lost in the understanding, even if no word is missing. At the same time, Charlotte Rampling keeps on tearing what's on her knees. The sequence ends when we hear the noise of scissors falling on the ground. Charlotte bends down slightly, the image stops on her back. Future is back.

Myriam Bornand, french-swiss artist, works and lives in Marseille, France. The general artistic process explores recurrent themes : the one and division, the center, the opposites, the stratums, the manipulation by the image, the automatism of the thought. Various techniques are used to treat these questions : collages, painting, video, writing, installations, serigraphy, gathering, photographs. The development of concepts is interlocked with the way of reproducing visually their problems. They are generally explored by series, which is the case of "Future is Back", a work composed of three parts : the Insults, the Scissors and the Tears. Exhibitions : LA PASSERELLE . 2001 .
