MÈTISréalisé par / directeb byVINCENT BARRÉPREMIÈRE MONDIALE / PRIX DES MÉDIATHÈQUESWORLD PREMIERE / MEDIA LIBRARIES PRIZEC’est bi<strong>en</strong> connu, filmer un artiste au travail n’est pas tâche aisée.L’académisme <strong>de</strong> la pose risque <strong>de</strong> le disputer à l’illusoire <strong>de</strong> ce quiserait ainsi prouvé. C’est sans doute pourquoi Vinc<strong>en</strong>t Barré, complicepar ailleurs à plusieurs occasions <strong>de</strong> Pierre Creton, a choisi <strong>de</strong>pr<strong>en</strong>dre lui-même les rênes <strong>de</strong> l’opération. Et <strong>de</strong> laisser place aussiaux échanges avec un autre sculpteur <strong>de</strong> r<strong>en</strong>om, Richard Deacon.L’atelier se prés<strong>en</strong>te donc comme le lieu <strong>du</strong> <strong>de</strong>ssin, <strong>de</strong> la fabrique <strong>de</strong>la sculpture, <strong>de</strong> la conversation, mais aussi comme le cadre impartià la caméra. Mais c’est sans doute elle aussi, la caméra, quicomman<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong> quitter le seul atelier où les feux d’une voiture nous aurad’abord con<strong>du</strong>it, pour s’ouvrir au chantier archaïque <strong>de</strong> la fon<strong>de</strong>rie, àses ténèbres zébrées d’incan<strong>de</strong>sc<strong>en</strong>ce. Et puis, ouverture <strong>en</strong>core,dans un mouvem<strong>en</strong>t à rebours, l’image filmée remonte aux sources<strong>de</strong> ses formes sculptées. Preuves par l’image <strong>de</strong> la filiation, défil<strong>en</strong>tles paysages et les rites <strong>de</strong> la Méditerranée : architecture cisterci<strong>en</strong>ne<strong>en</strong> Prov<strong>en</strong>ce, sites antiques grecs, processions <strong>de</strong> la semaine sainte<strong>en</strong> Sicile. L<strong>en</strong>te remontée d’une réminisc<strong>en</strong>ce qui s’accompagne <strong>de</strong>textes pour lui fondateurs, Empédocle et Bataille, lus par FrançoiseLebrun. Et voilà que ce qui <strong>de</strong>vait s’éclairer se confond, que ce qui<strong>de</strong>vait gui<strong>de</strong>r s’éparpille. Au lieu d’informer, la forme se déforme. C<strong>en</strong>’est pas hasard que le nom <strong>du</strong> Stalker, inv<strong>en</strong>té par Tarkovski pour leplaisir <strong>de</strong> brouiller les pistes, puisse servir ici au final d’<strong>en</strong>seigne. (JPR)FRANCE<strong>2007</strong>CouleurMini DV32’Version originaleFrançaisImage, sonPierre Cretonet Vinc<strong>en</strong>t BarréMusiquechants <strong>de</strong> processionMontagePierre Cretonet Vinc<strong>en</strong>t BarréFilmographieAmer, la montagneaux Bouddhas, 2003It is well-known fact that filming an artist at work is no easy task. The aca<strong>de</strong>micnature of the pose risks to put it in conflict with the illusion of that which wouldthus be prov<strong>en</strong>. It is undoubtedly why Vinc<strong>en</strong>t Barré, who has otherwisecollaborated on several occasions with Pierre Creton, has chos<strong>en</strong> to take thereins of the operation in hand himself. And to also give space to an exchange withanother well-known sculptor, Richard Deacon. The studio is thus pres<strong>en</strong>ted as aplace for drawing, sculpting and conversation, but also as the frame granted tothe camera. But it is also undoubtedly the camera itself that <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>s to leave theonly studio where the lights of a car first drove us, to op<strong>en</strong> up to the archaicworkplace of the foundry and its shadow-striped incan<strong>de</strong>sc<strong>en</strong>ce. And th<strong>en</strong>, op<strong>en</strong>ingagain, in a backward movem<strong>en</strong>t, the film image returns to the source of hissculpted forms. Images prove the relationship as Mediterranean landscapes andrituals are para<strong>de</strong>d that inclu<strong>de</strong> Cistercian architecture in Prov<strong>en</strong>ce, Anci<strong>en</strong>t Greeksites and Holy Week processions in Sicily. The slow resurfacing of a reminisc<strong>en</strong>cethat accompanies texts by Empedocles and Bataille that he consi<strong>de</strong>rs to befundam<strong>en</strong>tal, read by Françoise Lebrun. And so it is that what should beilluminated is confused while that which should gui<strong>de</strong> us scatters. Instead ofinforming, the form becomes <strong>de</strong>-formed. It is no accid<strong>en</strong>t that the name of Stalker,inv<strong>en</strong>ted by Tarkovski for the pleasure of clouding the issue, may serve here finallyas a sign. (JPR)114
