1968 - Grande-Bretagne - Couleur - 12'
In Dwoskin's work, the recording of real time affirms the irremedial opacity of what is nonetheless offered up to the visible. His Moment (1968) replies to Warhol's Blow Job (1964): a ten minute continuous shot of the face of a young girl whom we suppose to be masturbating. Her orgasm, which seems factual, nonetheless remains plunged in time as if in a sort of congenital expressive obscurity of being and from which traditional cinema has the purpose, by means of its rhetorical conventions, to protect us.
