Bal

Bal is a pensive selfportrait by Dominique Willoughby and his most dazzling film His face in extreme closeup is slightly anamorphosised This is a têteatête between Dominique Willoughbys face and his camera lens whose position the viewer assumes and during which his eyes follow the movements of his own face The movements of the face are short and sampled multiplied and superimposed filling the screen with a multitude of faces with abrupt movements turning and yet nonetheless connected But the jolting of the faces has a reflex brutality as if they were activated by a mechanical force
