CGiii Comment

CONTRE-JOUR: “The look with which we view and comprehend the world and how it is cast back at us in response, breaks up into ‘contre-jour’ (back light), into disquieting fragments. Blurs, flashes, and stroboscope montages disintegrate reality into shadowy images that inflict pain upon the retina. A spotlight precisely cuts the individual out of darkness. ”I wish you could see what I see“ remains a futile hope. Blind spots form a vast gap between self-perception and the perception of others”. (Kristina Tieke)
CONTRE-JOUR is, after PLAY and KRISTALL, a further collaboration between artists Christoph Girardet and Matthias Müller utilising the medium of experimental short film. Both live and work in Germany.
