Défénestration vers lailleurs

The artist sets up his camera in front of a rundown shack He will attempt to penetrate his subject with a series of agile and inquisitive camera movements Although open to the four winds the building is presented to us as an impenetrable castle there are bars on the windows locks and pulleys a series of obstacles blocking our access Lange launches his attack by panning horizontally then vertically across the walls these are scarred with broken windows which provide the principal motif for the film This panning movement continues with a series of variations based on the geometric patterns offered by the halfbroken windows a series of backlit triangles and rectangles which at times suggest an anthropomorphic motif The use of different shooting speeds and of incamera doubleexposure causes the film to fluctuate between documentation and abstraction LAilleurs Somewhere Else is the interior which the film never penetrates
