Where do images come from This disturbing and essential question is posed by Philippe Grandrieux and he already imposed it on himself the start via Sombre 1999 up to the portrait recently devoted to Masao Adachi FID 2011 From where then Maybe from the depths behind our eyes ungraspable visions night in suspension promise of the end of an eclipse between dream and nightmare This is the start and in truth the programme of White Epilepsy In a darkness barely broken by light a mass advances a nude back in a long shot entirely centred on the shoulders

Unrest Trilogy

As Grandrieux has written, 'No narrative link unites the three parts of the triptych, what we have is rather three stages of bodily presence, three affective intensities, three events that we are able to access only via what they make us experience inside of us, our own disquiet'. Unrest comprises three movements: White Epilepsy (2012), Meurtrière (2015) and Unrest (2017).
