Mayakovsky Remix

In 2007, Franck Ancel acquired 3 meters of original film "The Celluloide
Heart". This film, lost for more than half a century, was made by and
featured the Soviet poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and Lili Brik. Ancel
breathes new life into these images by mixing them and adding a sound
piece by Luc Ferrari and Elisabeth Chojnacka, "Common program for
harpsichord and magnetic tapes" for a duration of 17 min 17 S to create
two versions.
This composition fills the visual space until it reaches monochromatic
saturation. 12 years later, in 1930, Mayakovsky committed suicide at 37
years of age and left his epitaph: The boat of the love crashed against
everyday life. As one says, the incident is closed.
Through the transfiguration of death and the disappearance of this work,
we present another formula in loop form, towards projection, that is
still alive towards a “2007” version: Everyday life crashed against the
boat of the love. As one says, that does not close the incident.
This "Vladimir Mayakovsky Remix" (VMR) is the continuation, one year
later of the "Yves Klein Remix" (YKR) made in 2006 with its poem "Come
with me into the void". This second edition limited to 27 numbered
specimens, for November 11th, is accompanied by a certificate. VMR is a
box plexis, 13 by 13 centimetres, containing a DVD screen printed in the
color of red blood.
