The theme of absence requires focus, and the focus of this radiophonic project will be photography inspired by the fragments from the book “Camera Lucida” by Roland Barthes.
“Photography is unclassifiable because there is no reason to mark this or that of its occurrences; it aspires, perhaps, to become as crude, as certain, as noble as a sign, which would afford it access to the dignity of a language: but for there to be a sign there must be a mark; deprived of a principle of marking, photographs are signs which don’t take, which turn, as milk does. Whatever it grants to vision and whatever its manner, a photograph is always invisible: it is not it that we see. Yet it is not (it seems to me) by Painting that Photography touches art, but by Theatre… Photography is a kind of primitive theater, a kind of Tableau Vivant, a figuration of the motionless and made-up face beneath which we see the dead.” R. Barthes
At the Multimedia Student Center in Zagreb, the team of authors who stand on the border of theatrical, musical and multimedia expressions will stage this project dedicated to Roland Barthes by questioning the relations between picture and sound, written text and sound, as well as light and sound, just as “Live Photography”.
The team of Authors: Alen Sinkauz, Nenad Sinkauz, Bojan Gagić, Milica Manojlović; Contact person and project leader: Alen Sinkauz
