Video Portraits: French Writers
Logue merges image with spoken and written text in Video Portraits: French Writers, utilizing elegant video techniques to illustrate the words of such prominent authors and theorists as Jacques Derrida, Andre Du Bouchet, and Florence Delay. Whether filling the screen with Derrida's handwritten lines, focusing on a close-up of Delay's face, or employing imaging techniques to transform scenes from Du Bouchet's life into pages fluttering in the wind, Logue finds an incisive visual accompaniment for the writers' words. Read by the authors themselves, the texts retain their power and provide a graceful backdrop for these revealing portraits of the creative temperament.
