PAPER CINEMA
Dreaming up a film. Setting out the fragments of an upcoming, imaginary film in space. But, how to spread out the linearity of the film in the three dimensions of space? How to create, from the drift, the experience of a narration? Unfinished? Infinite? Alive?
The exhibition renounces the linear development, typical of the museum wall, in favor of the drifting, free and patterned, typical of the hypostyle room. Instead of subjecting the experience of space to a given line of discourse, the device entrusts the syntax of its narrative to the experience of the same space it generates, to the experience of its drift.
The starting point is the three pre-existing concrete pillars. The proposal superimposes on them an orthogonal matrix of fake columns that incorporates and dilutes them. Outside, at the four cardinal points of the weave, there are four prisms (three tables and a bench) where -with works by Ramón y Cajal, August Strindberg, Vicente Huidobro, Roland Sabatier or Jakob Mohr, among others- four of the possible readings of the exhibition are grouped.
This is an exhibition by Érik Bullot at the Filmoteca de Catalunya-Barcelona (28/09/23 - 28/01/24). The idea and design of the space is by TALLER PONTI (Jaume Coscollar). The curator is Marina Vinyes Albes.
