The fourth version presents for the first time the double simultaneous display of the film (in full screen, 25 images per second on the same surface and using the persistence of vision; and the inset display of the same images overlapping throughout the background, a succession of labels, drawing a “tunnel of images”)(2008). In this version, presented again in Nice (MAMAC, 2010), I tried to make perceptible the narrative temporality of a sequence and the construction of duration One can manipulate, accelerate, rewind or fast forward , by establishing a formal relationship between the duration of the movie and the space of the screen: the “tunnel of images” makes visible the progression of time in the process of making a video film and the phenomenon of visual continuum(the persistence of vision?) . I wanted the spectator to be able to enter into the duration of the film and to be faced with the duality of the narrative time and the time of the audio-visual object.
The permanent moving overlapping of labels cancels the unique point of view, sketching out a line of views with many convolutions. The film duration is no longer an absolute, but just a relative input: Each observer considers it, according to his position in space whether at rest (standing or sitting) or in motion.
