MILLE VACHES récit d'un contre charme





ce montage de septembre 2017 prétend rendre plus clair un film de 2014 par Manuel Montero qui se revendique de l'approche de Buñuel, Klossowski, de Raoul Ruiz et du tant ignoré Carlos Saura

Après les années, et une alerte d'une personne qui se sentait nommée et qui considérait que cet essai cinéma était un appel au meurtre, et une protestation de quelqu'un qui n'avait pas vu la teneur artistique de l'oeuvre et son caractère réflexif je pense qu'il n'est déloyale pour personne de rendre à nouveau publique ce long-métrage qui reste malgré ma prolixe évolution mon oeuvre la plus élaborée quand au montage et prises de vue, et quant aux principes du cinéma classique surréaliste français ( c'est à dire Luis Bunuel, Carlos Saura, Raoul Ruiz)

Le travail relève du cinéma pour la culture visuelle et l'approche du langage (soit aussi il relève du théâtre) mais il se pose depuis l'absence de budget et le factotum peintre solitaire ou presque en une manière élégante (non télévisuelle) d'anti-cinéma

this video performs views on MM latest pencils on paper with memory figures of friendship and love


the audios are two performative translations (the first from Kalidasa's Kumarasambhava and the second from a ghazal by Hafez de Chiraz, following the definition of performative translation, no previous conscient work on the particular text, infusion in the dream of the author through the beat of pulse and by identification as it is explained by MM himself)


Kumarasambhava tells the union of the girl with the god, she is the daughter of an ascetic master and he is the god of solitude and robbers, Shiva (the poet, Kalidasa, worked in bengali and sanskrit but the edition used is one of the spanish translations, noises are turned to sound by contrecube at his kitchen - we hear steam of cooking beans and I play myself a plastic cheap trumpet made in China, other times i have used English translations of Kalidasa by Chandra Rajan that I consider very good )


Hafez's ghazals are still influent as a form of writing and spelling, specially to musicians and other people concerned by courtoisie (the French edition has permitted to rewrite mentally at the first hearing of rythmical base set one single time by Contrecube at his studio)


there is a last audio sounding by MM made in 2011 titled La voix de Marchena, because of an experience on surrealistic radiophonic quotations on garbage philosophy inspired by the Spanish translator of Lucretius' Rerum Natura and Sade's Justine, and revolutionary agitator under 1789's French Revolution and opinions are left as laconic observations of History's nature


the bull's head is a reference to the minotaur as emblematic of the painter as a polygamous figure (Giulio Camilo set minotaur as memory path to brothels and the arts of vice) as it is told since MM's first long film (2014's "Mille Vaches, récit d'un contre-charme") and chief representation of mad-centered labyrinth of life as the proper Granada old red gypsy quarter where artworks are depicted

where's the magician ?





hypnotic video as means of various things on the image side, this is to say a purpose of an ex libris to Berthe, a meditation of choices in art through tarot cards (Visconti cards in the Russian edition), some shootings of study and on the sound side this is a 2009 poem on cats and their life as superior to human mind


disconnection of church was known to be property of cat's mind and so they were in Middle Age and Ancien Régime burnt in fire or given other cruel death in a peculiar pogrom as were human suspects, in my video disconnection of church seems to be imminent


as I was a sick child all ways to the doctor and beaten at school and I grew among the fears of sin and evil I took lessons from my cat (a sort of spy in this closed world) to get rid of this


if you have a cat ore you are in acquaintance with a band of cats make them listen the poem, and thonte forgette this note

es el Juicio de Paris





este video con recitado de poema muestra dibujos recientes de Manuel Montero, ello constituye, como otros numerosos videos similares de repertorio de dibujos o de collages, una suerte de foto-novela misteriosa, sin tema definido aparte del encuentro amoroso. Los poemas discurren en una dirección similar.
