In the film of time. Angel Leccia.

This book invites the reader to an immersive experience through a selection of videos from the 1980s to 2022. In a polysemic narrative, Ange Leccia's film works such as La Mer , Drapeau , Ô Superman and Chênes Verts , unfold in a long poetic tracking shot playing with the codes of Super-8 cinema. Without a real beginning or end, like a video loop, the images can be appreciated as if we were entering a camera obscura . The grain of the video image, the sometimes saturated colors, the variations of light, the play of shadows immerse us in representations bordering on abstraction, in a hypnotic palpitation. The material becomes almost pictorial. In Leccia, nature – earth, air, sea, fire, wind – awakens the senses: the spectator loses his bearings, his anchors in reality.
