URSONATE
of COUILLIN Christophe
FRANCE, 1993, 00:03:20
Production : COUILLIN Christophe
Genre : Video art
Keyword : Humour, Reading, Poetry
Summary :
A montage that very closely follows the rhythm of Dadaïst artist Kurt SCHWITTERS' diction. In 1932, SCHWITTERS had recorded the scherzo of his "Ursonate", a sound poem. Using this recording as soundtrack, Christophe COUILLIN "(…) visually transcribes what he hears, a list of numbers, and projects them, shoots them onto the surface of the screen. Electronic matter, the background of the image, if I may say, seems to reflect SCHWITTERS' voice tone..." (Marc MERCIER, in "Bref" n°20)
