Didier Volckaert"This film project started with a piece of 3 meter celluloid I got from Stefan Ram, who worked at the Filmmuseum of Amsterdam. Kaän murders Abel, a scene from an old movie dated 1920, tittle and director still unknown to me. I projected the image frame by frame and filmed it again deconstructed. Detail, color, grain and each time the same murder, unavoidable...

MÉTAPHORES

A man is walking through the corridor of a historical building, numbering the pillars of the walls with a piece of chalk. A lady is counting to ten on her fingers. Likewise Bigot records images of ten windows, of ten jumps, and so on....
