Self-portrait nº2 (Réveil)

1982 • 3 min

SELF-PORTRAIT Nº 2 (RÉVEIL) is the second self-portrait where the Super 8 camera was held at an arm's length. As in the first self-portrait, this resulted in extreme close-ups, in this case of me as I get out of bed. As in the first one, the scene is intercut with images of various administrative documents: identity cards, school IDs, a blood type card... that are in my name - the only colorful elements in this rather grainy black and white film.
