AU FILM DU TEMPS - Ange Leccia
This book invites the reader to an immersive experience through a selection of videos from the 1980s to 2022. In a polysemic narrative, Ange Leccia's filmic works such as La Mer, Drapeau, Ô Superman and Chênes Verts unfold in a long, poetic travelling shot that plays with the codes of Super-8 cinema. With no real beginning or end, like a video loop, the images can be appreciated as if entering a camera obscura. The grain of the video image, the sometimes saturated colors, the variations in light and the play of shadows immerse us in representations bordering on abstraction, in a hypnotic palpitation. Matter becomes almost painterly. With Leccia, nature - earth, air, sea, fire, wind - awakens the senses: the viewer loses his bearings, his anchorage points in reality.
For the book, Ange Leccia has created a series of diptychs taken from his video (D')Après Monet, a sensitive evocation of the artist's garden at Giverny, combining views of Sacha Guitry's film of Monet painting. His latest video, Au film du temps (2022), is also featured in the heart of the book.
