L’Hypothèse du tableu volé

What can revive the dead, move the stiff, fill those who are empty, and create an object of its own description? Interpretation, criticism; a film born from the movable sand of words reanimates the immobility of images, and as a hypothesis, it stands on an endless doubling, from which the mirror reflection gives birth to the pre-image of the image and its reflection; an original that does not exist without its critique. For if imagination itself would inevitably solidify into the solidity of the crystal of its creation, its told story, if the possibility of movement with that crystal did not hurry to arrive, the crystal that can endlessly radiate new reflections of light simply by being rotated - it is thus not an image, but a reflection, not image-ness, but reflectivity, which creates the liberating possibility to delve into Borgesian games of narrative structures and instances, and thus to revive again and anew, to seek meaning in stolen absence, enacting all the rituals to which we are servants here: the ritual of the moving film image.
