Zusammenfassung: | The filmmaker Agnès Varda (Brussels, 1928)
began creating images as a photographer in
the 1950s. Despite abandoning the profession,
photography has often been present in
her cinema as a reference point and inspiration,
but also to reflect on the image itself
and consider its testimonial value, its autonomy,
its capacity to evoke, and the subjectivity
with which an image is created and seen.
With regards to her new film, ‘Visages, Villages’
(2017), which she made in conjunction
with photographer JR, particular attention is
awarded to two films by Varda, ‘Une chante,
l’autre pas’ (1976) and ‘Ulysse’ (1982), in
which photography plays both a dramatic
and meta-linguistic role. In the former, a fulllength
fictional film, there is a confrontation
between two subjectivities: that of a photographer
and that of his occasional model. In
the latter, a short documentary film, a photograph
taken by Varda twenty-eight years
earlier is observed by the same filmmaker
and by the two people she portrayed on a stony beach in Normandy: with the passage
of time, what is remembered or wished to be
remembered about the moment that photograph
was taken? What is suggested aside
from its real point of reference? Is an image
only simply an image? Also referenced is a
television project by Varda, ‘Une minute pour
une image’ (1982), in which she granted a
variety of people one minute to comment on
a photograph
La cineasta Agnès Varda (Brussel·les,1928)
va començar creant imatges com a fotògrafa
als anys cinquanta del segle passat. Tot i
abandonar-la com a pràctica professional, la
fotografia es fa sovint present al seu cinema
com a referent i inspiració, però també per
reflexionar-hi sobre les imatges i així, doncs,
considerar el seu valor testimonial, la seva
autonomia, la seva capacitat evocativa,
la subjectivitat amb les quals es realitzen i
es miren. Partint de la seva nova pel·lícula,
‘Visages, Villages’ (2017), que ha creat
conjuntament amb el fotògraf JR, es fa
particular atenció a dos films de Varda, ‘Une
chante, l’autre pas’ (1976) i ‘Ulysse’ (1982),
en què la fotografia dóna joc a nivell dramàtic
i meta-lingüístic. Al primer, un llargmetratge
de ficció, hi ha una confrontació entre dues
subjectivitats: la d’un fotògraf i la d’una seva
model ocasional. Al segon, un migmetratge
documental, una fotografia realitzada per
Varda vint-i-vuit anys abans és observada per
la mateixa cineasta i per les dues persones que va retratar-hi en una platja pedregosa de
la Normandia: passat el |
