Pierre Coulibeuf: A Program of Short Works
Friday, October 24, 2014 / 7 PM
Total Run Time: 85 minutes
Pierre Coulibeuf has been making films for some twenty years, turning his attention to contemporary artists working within different disciplines, and approaching these artists as collaborators, subjects, and guides, in order to create alternate cinematic forms. Within this fictive space, Coulibeuf presents the logic of painting, photography, literature, and performance art in a cinematic language that is all his own.
Amour Neutre
2005, 28 minutes
"The neuter does not seduce or attract: therein lies its dizzying attraction against which nothing preserves. "
Maurice Blanchot
Amour Neutre lies within a cross-disciplinary project that brings together cinema, photography, literature and painting. The work is characterized by a circular, de-centered construction, with a repetition-variation principle extended to all the audiovisual components. This movement gradually perverts the codes of representation.
Pavillion Noir
2006, 24 minutes
Parodic fiction, based on special creations by choreographer Angelin Preljocaj. The seven characters who move in the architecture of Rudy Ricciotti's Pavillon Noir break shamelessly with the codes of choreography and cinema: contamination, overflow, distance, - fiction tests reality.
The film Pavillon noir is part of a cross-disciplinary project that, in this case, brings together architecture, choreography and cinema. The work aims to create a space "on the border" (of artistic disciplines and categories as well as of genres of the moving image), exactly where the individuals and things transform themselves, change their status, their identity.
Magnetic Cinema
2008, 33 minutes
Inspired by Canadian choreographer Benoît Lachambre's Lugares Comunes, the film touches on the sphere of the supernatural. An interplay of multiple energies links the film's characters to the natural elementsair, water, plant and mineralleading to strange, instinctual body movements. These characters have an android double, haunted by another, non-human will. They move about in a magnetic space where corporal language takes the place of the verbal. Cinema as the art of suggestion, the art of dark, obsessive forces attests to the cyclical nature of existence. Thus do waves live.
