ABECEDAIRE
GERMANY, 2006, 00:30:00
Production : GUITON Jean-François
Genre : Video art
Keyword : Allegory, Experimental, Homage, Literature
Summary :
An alphabet book is an illustrated book to learn how to read, or a handbook gathering the basic knowledge in a specialized area. It gives the essential facts and sorts them into a system that is supposed to be indisputable.
In "abécédaire", the 26 letters, 26 words and 26 shootings get tangled. The explications are lacking, the references are obscure, obvious and changing. The images give an aftertaste of incongruity and loneliness, but also of liveliness. Even though the end is predictable, it has no real conclusion.
