about

Central to Chris Marker's artistic concerns were his preoccupations with memory, the human voice, photography, cinema, poetry, Japanese culture... and cats. In Dots Per Image, multidisciplinary artist Rainier Lericolais confronts Marker's œuvre - and also in his book Le Dépays (1982) in particular -, and with his own experience traveling in Japan. These memory fragments are transformed into music and poetry with the help of Etienne Sandrin (French voice-over), Lili Kim (japanese voice-over), his friend musicians (Pierre-Yves Macé, Simon Fisher Turner, Daniel Pabeuf, David Sanson, Geoffroy Montel), film director Daniella Marxer and sculptor Michel Aubry.

"My first encounter with this Dépays ("non-country") was in Japan, when I asked for directions to the Goutokuji cats cemetery. The only response I got was "over there and a vague gesture." (Rainier Lericolais)

--------------------------------------------------------

La voix, la mémoire, le cinéma, la photo, le Japon, la poésie, et les chats ont toujours été au centre de l'œuvre de Chris Marker. Dans Dots Per Image (D.P.I), l'artiste pluridisciplinaire Rainier Lericolais confronte son rapport au cinéaste récemment disparu - avec pour point de départ, son livre, Le Dépays, paru en 1982 -, à sa propre mémoire - et notamment à celle de ses nombreux voyages au Japon. Ses souvenirs de Chris Marker sont accompagnés par des voix, française (Etienne Sandrin) ou japonaise (Lili Kim), par ses amis musiciens (Pierre-Yves Macé, Simon Fisher Turner, Daniel Pabeuf, David Sanson, Geoffroy Montel), cinéastes (Daniella Marxer) ou plasticiens (Michel Aubry) dans cette belle divagation musicale et poétique.

"Ma première rencontre avec ce « dépays » remonte au jour où je demandai à me rendre au cimetière des chats à Goutokuji, au Japon. J'eus comme seule réponse, sans plus de précision, et accompagné d'un simple gestion de la main : c'est par là" (Rainier Lericolais)
