“Battle Shock And Avant-Garde For Your Beautiful Eyes”
Presentation: Emilie Cauquy / Length: 60’ / Musician: Özün Usta
“They have eyes to see, but they do not see,” says Evangels. “Thus we were to invent lenses and all sorts of glass and crystal objects for them. And the heads were deformed, extended, enlarged or reduced before their judiciary examinations.” An excerpt by Henri Langlois, proprietor of the exhibition “Images du cinéma français” (Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lozan, September-October 1945), from the info about a frame where special effects by optical instruments and one of La Folie du Docteur Tube pictures are composed.
A collection on how bodies are represented by means of technology, to witness with one’s own eyes, before and after the First World War.
