"The question of the face is central to my sculptural work, but also to many of my films, because cinema is also about looking at a face." Ali Cherri"Envisagement" refers both to considering something, but also to the evocation of the face. Lebanese filmmaker and visual artist Ali Cherri explores this polysemic notion in this book, where his works dialogue with those of Alberto Giacometti. This double meaning finds a particularly sensitive echo in Giacometti's sculptures and paintings, where the human face is the motif of an incessant search at the same time as a realization in the making. Works by both artists, reproduced in shot-reverse shot, as well as graphic creations specially imagined as cinematographic sequences for this book by Cherri, feed into a reflection on what it is to represent a face and to look at it.
