Point de fuite
Jacques Curty
A film consisting of four parts, which attempts to reduce the illusionist space that cinema inherits from the perspective devices of classical painting to the two sole dimensions of the screen, through means specific to the filmic medium. The motif of the window serves as serialized material, since it is by imagining itself like a window (Alberti, Dürer) that the Quattrocento painting was able to construct its perspective and illusionist space. Production : Visual Arts Insttute of Orléans.
Point de fuite
Vision Elargie
Jacques Curty
The window serves as a metaphor for looking and watching. The cinematic illusion is redoubled by the uncertainty of the iconic referent. It is a query on the status of the visible. Games and multiplications of the framework generate an impalpable architecture. In a film which is limited by black and white.

Mobiles
Jacques Curty
Mobiles works with regulated frame movements becoming increasingly more unpredictable : a controllable, closed space, in which more random and unrestrained movement are distributed. This device allows forms to be deployed by the movement, but is still untapped by narrative film: contracting and leaking spaces, crushed signs, decomposition of movements by other movements, dripping and corpuscular choreography. Mobiles is the result of a continuous tension between abstraction and reality. The same goes for the relationship between sound and image, which echo one another.
