Memory and resistance

"We should find a new way to tell, so that we might finally say something else." Jean-luc Godard


Bonnard

The screen goes black, the first beat in the rhythm of the film.

The scene is inside an art gallery during an exhibit of Pierre Bonnard's works. The image is of the patrons studying the paintings.

The camera slowly tracks to the right. The relations are all different - mother/daughter, lovers, professor/student, etc. Each frame contains a different one.

The varying relations in front of and studying each canvas reflects the numerous ways of processing, interpreting and evaluating art, how the images are unique structured to each of us, giving and receiving information unique to the viewer.

All the same for the person viewing the film. A study of oneself.
