TRILOGY OF GLORY
In a celebration of colors, sounds, and movements, through a series of 156 images in homage to Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, and Paul Klee, Pascal Nordmann stages the memory of disaster to offer it, in a gesture of defiance, to the proponents of eternal recurrence, national glories, and misguided old beliefs.
The three parts represent three facets of a work on the same event of the 20th century: the German genocide perpetrated against European Jews. (1st part - see HERE)
Each facet, built around a central point, includes an exhibition of 52 images, a short film of 18 minutes, and a 64-page booklet from Editions de la Fondation Auer, containing text and images.
Intentions
"It's not about showing the unspeakable or making a documentary. Do not expect to find images of the unspeakable. The aim is to mourn, to meditate, even to pray, everything that, in a work of memory, accompanies the memory to make it bearable or at least to make it seem as if it could be bearable."
