Surrounded by Colors We Could No Longer See
This experimental short film is a flowing dreamscape of fragments, images, and afterimages – a terrain of memory as corporeal as it is optical. This diaristic personal film passages through spaces of the filmmaker’s family history, where the desert becomes a collection zone for scattered pieces. The film is intended to evoke and embody memory, with a mirror-like and branching effect; there is the film the audience shares collectively, the film they see, and also there is a “second film” that rises up inside each viewer that is absolutely personal and intimate.
Surrounded by Colors We Could No Longer See compose un paysage onirique fluide, de fragments, d’images et de post-images – un terrain de mémoire aussi corporel qu’optique. Personnel, il adopte le modèle du journal et traverse des espaces de l’histoire familiale dont celui du désert, pensé comme zone de collecte de pièces éparpillées. Il évoque et réveille la mémoire, en un effet miroir et ramifié.
