Poïética

Poïética

Synopsis

A film based on Nouvelles Images (electronicimagery) devised by Marc'O at France's Institut National de l'Audiovisuel in the 70s, reworking Renaissance and Mannerist pictures as well as original photographs. The commentary takes the form of an enquiry into the nature of art, the future of representation and the inherent contradictions of contemporary society, with particular regard to gender issues – beyond polarised sexuality.
