La Jatee, a travel through past
“I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.”
― Virginia Woolf
― Virginia Woolf
La Jatee is a project assembled in 1962 from photographs taken by Chris Marker.
The sacred fashion
If clerical vestments are known to be seen in particular in holly spaces like the church, Dolce&Gabbana made sure they delivered with their eclectic collection for Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 a new fresh view over the 'sacred garment'.
With a strong visual impact, the designs brought on the catwalk a mosaic of old symbols translated into a contemporary interpretation, all put together in shapes, rhythmic lines and colours to enchant the eye. Crowns and crosses amplified the feel of divine, making the models to look as if they were fashion priestesses.

The film outside the frame
The cinematic viewing space can interfere with the film experience. More, when the director is present at the scene, modifying live the viewer’s perception over the image it’s undoubtedly a unique way of doing and seeing film.
Malcom Le Grice, major figure in
the development of experimental film in the UK set out three of his films at Filmaktion,
event organized by Tate Modern. Starting from the idea that a film ‘should’ be
presented in a square (the screen), his films are showing the opposite: the
projection runs from ‘the square' as if its images want to hide outside the
frame. Repetitive symbols like Mona Lisa’s smile, coloured squares or even
sounds, mixed together with the film maker’s steps on the cold stone floor offers
the spectator a distinctive way to gain its own ‘politics of perception’, this
being the only way to decipher the
signs.
Is this maybe the reason why most
of the times the projection on the wall is seen different from the reality of
the self? Film & Action!
