A slow and ugly fairy tale based on the drawings of inmates at a psychiatric clinic where LaLoux worked.
I give a methodical account of my film work: the creation of new series (Lire, Trio, Avec Mariola), the shooting of a new feature film (Amours décolorées which will take ten years to edit) with Mariola San Martin.
Conceived, drawn and animated live by a team of patients from a psychiatric clinic, this achievement presents, in the eyes of its author, less interest on a purely cinematographic level than on that of human experience. It is the disturbing wordless story of a woman and a man living in a strange setting where objects are endowed with life that they have chosen to tell us through this theater of shadow puppets in cut out figurines. Their characters will know a tragic fate since carried in the air by balloons, they will finally be devoured by a horrible dragon.
Amours décolorées is a cinematographic poem to the glory of Mariola San Martin, model, stylist, dancer and Spanish photographer.
Popular neighborhoods that are open-air prisons. Where beauty flirts with violence. The kingdom of the insubordinate children, veterans of the lead. A garden of amputated flowers, which with crutches on their backs, still grow and dance.
Disjunctive fabric or network that collides, by means of re-appropriated or stolen resources, liberated archives that disrupt structures of power and institutions. Psychiatry and universities explode in an accelerated disruptive essay of archiving and post-archiving that coins “anarchoautism” as a flow of liberated desire. Through its form and politics of liberation, autistic and schizophrenic becomings imply a violent line of flight within institutional spaces.
Lire is a cinematographic series of filmed portraits that shows, in a single large fixed and sound sequence shot of 3 minutes 20 seconds, a writer reading the beginning of his last published book.
An intimate conversation between Félix Guattari and psychiatrist Danielle Sivadon.
