En savoir plus sur le livre
Cerith Wyn Evans engages in candid discussions with Hans Ulrich Obrist about his journey as a video and filmmaker, starting with his role as an assistant to Derek Jarman and evolving into creating experimental films in the 1980s. Since the 1990s, his work has emphasized language and perception, characterized by conceptual clarity often rooted in the context of exhibition sites and their histories. Evans believes installations should act as catalysts, offering a reservoir of meanings that can lead to various interpretive paths. His refined aesthetic is deeply influenced by film history and literature. Obrist conducted multiple interviews with Evans from 2002 to 2009 across France, England, and Belgium, focusing on both past and contemporary works, including his neon and Morse code projects, as well as his fascination with Japan and its culture. Evans discusses his artistic processes and a fundamental idea of his work: the clarity or ambiguity of signals and language. He also reflects on his mentors and significant artists in his life. One interview features his former teacher, Peter Gidal, who had a profound impact on him. Another takes place at the home of Alain Robbe-Grillet, whose films Evans has studied extensively. The conversations culminate in a visit to a James Lee Byars retrospective, showcasing a comprehensive portrait of this multifaceted artist.
