Résumé du livre

This collaboration between Michael Curran and Imogen Stidworthy consists of a number of different elements: on two separate video monitors, the faces of the artists are periodically illuminated by the light of a match, whose brief, dwindling flame allows each protagonist a finite moment to conjure a fragment of cinematic narrative; read aloud, as if in sleepless vigil, from a seemingly inexhaustible sheaf of papers; a large video projection of a sunlit Maryon Park in South London (famous from Michelangelo Antonioni?s classic film ?Blow-Up?) invokes both the spirit of that film, and the phantom traces of numerous others.
