Dark banks...  (1996-2005)

Dark banks (1996-2005) Immémorial #1 :

Memories are superimposed and are reactivated randomly: often without respect for chronology, nor understanding why this memory evokes that one, sometimes without evident coherence with the context. But how does the time of memory work?

The first two versions of Immémorial evoke the texture of the memory, as an accumulation of recordings, perceptions and points of views. I intend to elaborate a cognitive fiction by proposing a fictional access to all my video films and the sounds I’ve recorded. The compilation contains saturated data, multiscreen-composed with repeated overlapping, randomly crossed like a Dada cadavre exquis. I have conceived the earliest versions in this way, by adding and successively inserting iconic, textual, graphic and sound elements, which express emotional, perceptive and spacial sensations.

The first version, a compilation within a 21/2hour film that was structured in 4 parts constituted of short audio-visual video clips (1996-2005) was presented in Nice, in 2006 (MAMAC). I proposed a continuing assembly and editing which obeys narrative progression and beginning-to-end chronology; Dark banks (childhood), Time of machines (entering into adulthood), Domestic pains (founding a family), Forgetting (old age).
