Cécile Paris
Les Italiens, un début, un milieu et une fin
07.02 – 08.03.2014
Cécile Paris focuses on the fictional potential of the image and sound. She draws on the so-called
popular forms to build a real work of recovery in the musical sense. Reloading and replaying a
Western cultural heritage, she leads intaglio a questioning of the construction of identity.
For the project The Italians, a beginning, a middle and an end, she is associated with the French
singer Barbara Carlotti whose relationship to music far exceeds the formatted logical to cross the
fields of film, dance or sound poetry. Together, they engage in an artistic exploration of the
duration, size and destination of the song whose we often retains only an air, a chorus, an
approximative piece with which we can produced a personal story, a memory.
Like a soap opera , the three securities that comprise the Italians, a beginning, a middle and an
end are an invitation to a fictional travel through clichés that build our eyes on Italy and Dolce
Vita : the blonde in light dress, the suitors in moustache and slicked, the pasolinien urban
landscape, etc.
