The Ballad of Désastronaute #1 (Noli me tangere)
Une balade virtuelle, catographique : Désastronaute 1, une voyageuse du temps du future, éduquée à travers des images de films de la nouvelle vague et de la post-nouvelle vague (Godard, Rivette, Eustache, Bresson, Rohmer...) rentre à Paris à la recherche des fondements matériels des ces images obsessionelles. A travers le navigateur google-earth, le public sera invité à suivre désastronaute 1, flanerie mnémonique fait d’images superposées, fragments textuels et sons combinés à ses déambulations mentales.

“The events of 9/11 left a trail of smoke that still hasn’t dissipated from the atmosphere and that seems to have irrevocably ‘clouded’ our political vision. A state of affairs like a kind of weather that never passes, a media-borne overcast where smoke trails multiply and coalesce unnoticed and in relation to which we can have no privileged external perspective, no sure ground to stand on.
It was by chance that we discovered Goethe’s remarks on clouds – a friend gave Silvia the text saying it would help her sleep. In fact it did quite the opposite, it was a wake-up call that gave her the idea to make this cinétract. Like many of Goethe’s meteorological observations - inspired by Luke Howard’s pioneering classification of clouds - those of September 11, 1819 are remarkable for their precision, the careful mapping and sorting out of different types of weather phenomena, but above all their sense of measure, the calm certainty that after a storm the sky would clear. The sense of this film lies wholly in the open, multilayered disjunction between the events and times to which it refers. Goethe lived in an epoch when painters had begun to rethink how to paint the sky. Revolution was in the air.” (G.T.)

an experiment in temporarily transforming a private apartment (l'invention du quotidien) into a public dérive/situation/interzone for 4 days of performance/clandestine participation/conspiracy/poetic sabotage comprising:











an 'Office for the Renunciation of National Identity' (DIENSTELLE FUR FERZICHTLEITSTUNG DER NATIONALITAETEN)



















where 'applicants' were given a questionnaire, interviewed and finally stamped with a sign of their new state of non-belonging;


















a multi-speaker sound installation of national anthems, mixed and manipulated in real time, accompanied by a "human-speaker" equipped with a melodic/cacophonic suitcase or MOT-VALISE











and subject to occasional interference from electric guitar and laptop;














ambulant indoor performance poetry/outdoor advertising of Haus 52 on similar and crazier themes/desires/lines of flight














accompanied and amplified by above-mentioned "human-speaker";















and a looped projection of the cinétract "Wolkengestalt" in a small upper room just tall enough for the screen but full of sliced mirrors to fragment and delay the cloud images....

16 REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE









































































A looped sequence featuring the mythical dance scene from Philippe Garrel’s film Les amants réguliers is projected in slow motion on a white sheet suspended from the ceiling in front of La Guillotine's’s emergency exit, to which an old 45 rpm record slowed down to 16 rpm, Georges Moustaki’s La Philosophie, provides a continual droning accompaniment.
The sound is further modified and degraded by live computer processing and the addition of a prepared electric guitar which repeats the melody of the song 16 times more slowly...

C'est une jolie bande de joyeux fêtards
Qui se couchent à l'aurore et se lèvent très tard
Ne pensant qu'à aimer ou jouer de la guitare
Ils n'ont dans la vie que cette philosophie

Nous avons toute la vie pour nous amuser
Nous avons toute la mort pour nous reposer
Nous avons toute la vie pour nous amuser
Nous avons toute la mort pour nous reposer

Ils ne font rien de plus que fêter chaque instant
Saluer la pleine lune, célébrer le printemps
Si bien qu'pour travailler ils n'ont plus guère le temps
Ils n'ont dans la vie que cette philosophie

Et je me reconnais en eux assez souvent
Comme eux je gaspille ma vie à tous les vents
Et je me dis qu'ils sont mes frères ou mes enfants
Ils n'ont dans la vie que cette philosophie

10 maggio: LA NOTTE
del terzo orecchio







































































Live remixing/processing of the entire soundtracks of Michelangelo Antonioni’s "Trilogia dell'incomunicabilità" (comprising L'avventura, La notte and L'eclisse) while stills from the three films, capturing empty in-between moments where sense and emotion are suspended, are randomly projected and redoubled on the ceiling...

As the layered and manipulated sound conjure up impossible spectral dialogues across the three films, multiplying the disembodied voice of Monica Vitti in a hysterical fugue and foregrounding Antonioni’s pioneering use of modern ambient sounds (electric fans, fridge motors, helicopter rotor blades) to underscore the physical and existential disquiet of his characters, the public are invited to recline on an aseptic bed of white sheets and pillows covering most of the exhibition space and watch the frozen shards of images above as they flicker in and out of view like parings of long-dead stars.
