    Meditations on cinema and method from the acclaimed Chilean director of City of Pirates and Life Is a DreamThis volume gathers excerpts from the diary of celebrated Chilean experimental film director Raul Ruiz. A continuation of Poetics of Cinema 1 and Poetics of Cinema 2--his seminal volumes on new narrative modes--Notes, Recollections and Sequences of Things Seen follows the late stage of Ruiz's career, from 1990 to 2011, in which he realized more ambitious productions. These new films generated significant economic and aesthetic challenges, and he observed the increasing distance between his dream of a handmade, nonindustrial, shamanic-inspired cinema--as set out in the Poetics of Cinema--and his reality.Selected by Bruno Cueno and Erik Bullot, friends of Ruiz, the writings also express the filmmaker's pragmatic side, such as his prescriptions for implementing the theoretical concepts outlined in Poetics. A preface by Bullot and notes by Cuneo contextualize the excerpts.Raul Ruiz (1941-2011) was an experimental Chilean filmmaker, writer and teacher who directed more than 100 films, including Dark at Noon (1992) starring John Hurt, Three Lives and Only One Death (1996) starring Marcello Mastroianni, Genealogies of a Crime (1997) starring Catherine Deneuve and Time Regained (1999) starring John Malkovich.

    Highlights from 20 years of furniture and product design by leading French luminary Noé Duchaufour-LawranceDesigner Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance's (born 1974) training in both sculpture and furniture design is evident throughout his eclectic body of work. His architectural designs, seen in places such as the Sketch restaurant in London or the Air France business lounge at Paris-Charles de Gaule airport, evoke the natural movement of water and wind with curved edges and smooth surfaces. Each piece of furniture in Duchaufour-Lawrance's oeuvre, whether it be a chair, lamp or sofa, is characterized by a clear attention to the piece's overall dramatic effect as well as a fine craftsmanship in every detail. Most recently, he collaborated with the crystal manufacturer Saint-Louis to create the Folia collection of luxury lighting fixtures and furniture. This publication presents a number of Duchaufour-Lawrance's most striking designs, and reveals his new project in which he deftly combines design with craftmanship.

    A celebrated photographer and a seasoned botanist meditate on the global community through the lens of nature in a new installment of Dis Voir's Encounters seriesPhotographer Thierry Fontaine (born 1969) and garden designer Gilles Clément (born 1943) are both fascinated by the unceasing evolution of living things, particularly as nature represents the intermingling of the global human community. Just as we must develop new connections with humanity worldwide, today's gardens must evolve to reflect the ease with which plants and animals hybridize in the modern age of global travel and technology, unheeding of both organic and manmade borders. Have You Ever Seen a Nomad in a Hurry? captures the dynamism of our ever-adaptable natural world through Thierry's poetic photographs and Clément's horticultural expertise. This book is one of the latest in Dis Voir's Encounters series, which aims to foster artistic and literary experimentation through collaboration.

You Know Where I'm At and I Know Where You're At is the culmination of their "friendship of otherness." It traverses their ups and downs from paranoia and generosity to forgiveness and sorrow through drawings, handwritten letters and prose. The latest in Dis Voir's Encounters series, this book continues the project's goals of artistic and literary experimentation through collaboration.

  • - Methodological and Epistemological Experimentations Between the Arts and the Human Sciences
     
    263,95 kr.

    From where do we speak? This collection of essays questions the processes of globalization in terms of how they have transformed the theoretical tools through which ideas circulate and migrate, and how we invent the Other, while creating several contemporaneous worlds. The concept of the border occupies a central place in social and political arenas today. As the seven authors of this collection of original essays show, it can also be a methodological tool used to inform research in a wide range of artistic and academic fields and create new epistemological tools. From the opening theoretical piece in Thinking from the Border, which explores various definitions of the border to each subsequent chapter that complexifies and illustrates these definitions, often based on a combination of philosophical concepts and artistic practices, this timely collection offers illuminating perspectives on various ways the border functions to create new concepts and artistic tools. From Dis Voir's Visual Art Essays series, this multidisciplinary work brings together a geographer, sociologists, art and architectural historians, and an artist to examine new methodologies that blur the boundaries between the human sciences and artistic practices, in order to open up new paths and invent new protocols for connecting historicized artistic and social experiences from different parts of the world.

  • - Memories of the Narratocene
    af Leo Henry
    263,95 kr.

    When the Catastrophe occurred, part of humanity took refuge in the Greenhouses. They survived there, locked up for over a century, in the company of selected plants and animals. Outside, the wars exhausted themselves and the climate stabilized: the time came to reclaim the Earth. Braids tells the story of an expedition in this now foreign universe, and the reunion of the inhabitants of the Greenhouses with a humanity that has followed a different path. The heroine, welcomed by a tribe living in autarky in an extinct volcano, sees her relation to the world and to others profoundly challenged. Braids also collects the intertwined stories produced by humans in a time of dramatic change--a future age in which our species is about to diverge into new branches. In this transitional era, stories are at the heart of our experience of the world: the narratocene. Strasbourg-based writer Léo Henry (born 1979) is old enough to remember the Chernobyl disaster (narrowly). He writes books (but not only), mainly science fiction (but not only). For this book, he really enjoyed the research and documentation work. He is not quite sure that fiction and reality are opposed concepts. "We are immortal not because our knowledge will survive but because it will fade and give way to something else. We are the humans of the narratocene: slow, powerless, fragile, connected to each other and to all that proliferates around us. We live to speak and lend voice to the spirits, desires, goats and nostocs that are like us, to machines, to the principles of thermodynamics, to geological movements, to DNA sequences, to centuries, to music and to death. We are voices, air vibrations, signals emitted, degraded, muffled, we are contradicted, completed, refined and intertwined messages. We are not saying: we should say that, we are saying that." Léo Henry is a writer of fantasy and science fiction, comic books and role-play. Denis Vierge is an artist and illustrator renowned for his "narrative drawings." Hervé Le Guyader is a professor of evolutionary biology, world-renowned for his work in conceptualizing a new phylogenetic approach to the evolution of life and the classification of living organisms. Other books in theIllustrated Tales for Adults series include The Adventures of Percival by Pierre Senges, The Man Who Refused to Die by Nicolas Ancion and Theory of MultiDreams by Jean-Philippe Cazier.

    First monograph on the Hong Kong filmmaker, an important figure in contemporary cinema regarded as one of the best filmmakers of his generationWong Kar-wai films the flow of contemporary images from the inside, hones them to an almost dizzying point of seductiveness, but also addresses the damage they do. Individuals are alone, orphaned, unfit for love, unable to exert the slightest influence on reality. His films works like prisms--collecting the luminous reflections of cityscapes and the somber psyches of his characters, diffracting them in the brightly colored facets of a video clip. There remains what is the true measure of any great filmmaker: a perfectly articulated vision of the state of the world, here and today. Directors influenced by Wong include Quentin Tarantino, Sofia Coppola, Tsui Hark and Barry Jenkins. Wong Kar-wai (born 1956) is an award-winning Hong Kong filmmaker and producer. Notable films include Days of Being Wild, Chungking Express, In the Mood for Love, 2046, My Blueberry Nights and The Grandmaster. In May 2018, he was awarded a Doctor of Arts degree by Harvard University.

  • - A History of the Arts of Memory
    af Francois Boutonnet
    268,95 kr.

    The Ancient Greeks invented the art of memory (personified as Mnemosyne) 2,700 years ago. More than merely a mnemonic device useful to orators, they developed a technique for visually representing the world, which has since nurtured figurative arts and human knowledge. Focusing on the theme of Mnemosyne, this essay thus reflects on the history of visual thought as revealed by the art of memory, from antiquity through Giordano Bruno, Leibniz and Walter Benjamin to Aby Warburg and digital landscapes. Today, digital culture and its interactive practices provide new possibilities for reinventing Bruno's expanding universe. This enables us to access a wide range of information and knowledge and their interactions help us to develop collective intelligence. This work also shows how humans and their computer memories are producing new forms of knowledge using digital media combined with this ancient art; we see how a new type of visual thinking is emerging that creates new forms of knowledge and representations of the real. Because of these new possibilities, the arts of memory have become meaningful as a way of apprehending the emergence of a digital thought process. The status of images has followed the same paradigm shift, so that we now consider the image not as the visible but as the visual; not as a world of shapes, but as a concretion of time, obligating, according to Georges Didi-Huberman, art history to turn back into an art of history, an art of memory. François Boutonnet is a filmmaker and senior lecturer in film studies.

  • - Emerging Materials and Imaginary Metamorphosis
    af Dominique Peysson
    266,95 kr.

    It is now possible for scientists to control the structure of matter at a scale so minute that previously unimaginable properties emerge. Organic matter may even be hybridized with nonorganic matter, as the border between the inert and the living increasingly blurs. Consequently, we need to rethink our relation to, and apprehension of, the world. With the advance of materials science, the artist need not sculpt the external form but the internal sub-structures of matter, not the object but its properties. In The Image-Matter, scientist and artist Dominique Peysson offers tools to help us comprehend the new vision of the world proposed by materials science, and encourages us to perform the necessary transformation of our imaginations.

  • - Goltzius and the Pelican Company
    af Peter Greenaway
    253,95 kr.

    Peter Greenaway's Goltzius is the second installment in his Dutch Masters series. Its story runs thus: sometime during the winter of 1590, the Dutch printmaker Hendrik Goltzius holds an interview with Margrave of Alsace, in the grand library at his castle on the Rhine. Goltzius needs money in order to build a printing press to print erotic illustrated books, and he entices Margrave of Alsace into paying for an extraordinary book of pictures of Old Testament Biblical stories, by dramatizing the erotic stories of Lot and his daughters, David and Bathsheba, Samson and Delilah and John the Baptist and Salome--stories in which themes of incest, adultery, female entrapment and necrophilia abound. Margrave's court is completely seduced by Goltzius' titillating storytelling, and swiftly sinks into a pit of lechery and religious politics, until the court is forced to buy its way out, and Goltzius can begin his ambitious endeavor. Peter Greenaway was born in Wales in 1942. His films include The Falls, The Belly of an Architect, Drowning By Numbers, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, & Her Lover, Prospero's Books, The Pillow Book, Nightwatching and others.

    This novel announces itself as the first in a 100-book series of histories, the start of "an encyclopedic compendium of everything in the world gathered together in one place." Author (and filmmaker) Peter Greenaway doesn't want to write them all: the idea is to set up a motley collection of academics, all with vested special interests, all determined to stave off forgetfulness and mortality, and have them substantiate the truism that "there is no such thing as history, there are only historians." Among the 99 other proposed titles are the stories of toys, games, cripples, towers, conceptions, diseases, maps, tics, red hats, adulteries, journeys to the sea, languages, names, gardens, acts of violence, pricks, griefs and ghosts. Greenaway's books include Nightwatching and Rosa, and his films include Prospero's Books, The Belly of an Architect, and The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover.

    In this collaborative volume, the writer and artist Paul Buck works with the late Kathy Acker. Using as source the raw materials of their correspondence from the early 80s, a period when Acker was writing "Great Expectations and trying to leave America for London, Buck confronts issues of appropriation, sampling, and plagiarism, relevant then and now. "Spread Wide works to spread wide not only the thighs, but also the page and writing itself, to expose the textual and narrative pulsations that are fundamental to the creative process as experienced by both of these notable practitioners. Through Acker's letters and re-readings of her published work, Buck blurs the line between visual arts and literature, tramps documents into fiction, and creates a transgressive work that stretches back to the time of their first meetings in Amsterdam and Paris, when, as editor of the seminal magazine "Curtains, he blasted French contemporary writings into the British bloodstream. Further encounters are triggered by writer Rebecca Stephens and artist John Cussans.
