Faces & WallsExpositions organisées par J.-P. Rehm et N. FeodoroffExhibitions curated by J.-P. Rehm et N. FeodoroffGalerie MontgrandGalerie <strong>de</strong> l’École supérieure <strong>de</strong>s Beaux-arts <strong>de</strong> <strong>Marseille</strong>41, rue Montgrand - 13006 <strong>Marseille</strong>www.esbam.frLa question <strong>de</strong> la figure inscrite dans un lieu, gran<strong>de</strong> affaire <strong>de</strong> la peinture perspective, rappelle cequ’habiter peut vouloir dire à l’ère <strong>de</strong> l’invention <strong>de</strong> l’indivi<strong>du</strong> mo<strong>de</strong>rne. Représenter, figurer, distinguer,nouer ou dénouer figure et fond, toutes ces interrogations ont été soulevées à nouveau frais dèsle XIX e siècle et au suivant, siècle <strong>de</strong>s masses, <strong>de</strong> la démocratie, <strong>du</strong> cinéma aussi. Que le cinémajustement soit voué à les réunir toutes ensemble, d’un cadre à l’écran ou au mur (ici la réversibilité <strong>du</strong>vocabulaire fait aussi signe), et en les résolvant provisoirement en faisant <strong>de</strong>s figures filmées ouprojetées <strong>de</strong>s pages ou <strong>de</strong>s obstacles, en métamorphosant les visages en paysages (Deleuze) ou enmurs à l’opacité impénétrable, et inversement, en animant les murs à la façon <strong>de</strong> visages. Se fondredans le fond, en surgir et s’en détacher, se constituer en pan ou se disloquer en fragments, <strong>de</strong>ssinerune silhouette pour s’indivi<strong>du</strong>er ou se diluer, ces balancements dialectiques entre fonds et figurescon<strong>du</strong>isent aux espaces où le politique recoupe l’esthétique. Les films et les œuvres présentés ici,réunis moins par cohérence thématique que sous la loi d’éclatement d’une constellation, en esquissentquelques contours possibles. (NF)The question of the figure positioned within a particulae setting – one of the key elements ofperspective painting – reminds us of what living can signify in the era of the invention of the mo<strong>de</strong>rnindivi<strong>du</strong>al. To <strong>de</strong>pict, symbolise, distinguish, tie or untie a figure from its background represents andis the basis for, all these questions that were raised anew in the 19 th century and in the century thatfollowed – the century of the masses, of <strong>de</strong>mocracy and of the cinema as well. It was the cinema whichsaw itself as <strong>de</strong>stined to reunite them all again – from frame to screen or wall, (here the reversibility ofthe vocabulary also emerged), and to resolve the situation temporarily by creating filmed or projectedfaces, pages or obstacles, turning faces into landscapes (Deleuze) or into walls of impenetrableopacity, and inversely, by bringing walls to life like faces. Melting figures into background, drawingthem out or <strong>de</strong>taching them, piecing them together in pan shots or disclocating them into fragments,drawing outlines to single them out or dilute them – these dialectic swings between backgrounds andfaces lead to spaces where politics intersects with aesthetics. Films and the works presented here arebrought together, not so much through a coherent theme as un<strong>de</strong>r the auspices of the explosion of aconstellation, while possible contours are sketched in. (NF)Au pied <strong>de</strong>s montagnes <strong>de</strong> ChineHervé Pichard, France, <strong>2011</strong>, 23’D’un <strong>documentaire</strong> <strong>de</strong>s années 1950 dont subsistent <strong>de</strong>s bouts <strong>de</strong> pellicules 16 mm, Hervé Pichardn’en retient que les regards caméra, au ralenti. En émane une sensation <strong>de</strong> perte que la fragilitéapparente <strong>du</strong> support accentue face à l’insistance mutique <strong>de</strong> cette nation <strong>de</strong> visages. (NF)Out of the remnants of a 1950s documentary shot in 16mm, Hervé Pichard only salvaged cameraviews in slow motion. They emanate a sense of loss which the clearly fragile material accentuates inthe midst of the muted insistence of this nation of faces. (NF)174
