To accept to put blank in the world, to accept a particular link to time, which is not the standard time of our productivity civilisation, is apprehending the world while being limited by his own limits. It’s also forcing the viewer, or the person who share this experience, to enter in the time of the illness, to consciously touch on an altered perception of the world. Each person is living the same world, with his own singularity, his own difference, his own individuality with the world. So it’s about a norm, about sliding out of this norm, out of what gravitate around and what define this norm.
Slow and contemplative gaits, on the edge of town, looking for frames, images. Browse territory, to deploy its own pace, the pace of medicines as well. Men, landscapes, an experience that is created between the two through a tool: a cam recorder. A tool-action, which creates the real, which is difficult to show, which creates the common language, which perhaps doesn’t exist by the speech.
