2024 | Le Commun, Geneva<\/strong>
A collaboration between Black Movie and Centre de la photographie Gen\u00e8ve<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black Movie International Independent Film Festival and Centre de la photographie Gen\u00e8ve present Walker, a site-specific exhibition designed by Taiwanese filmmaker and artist Tsai Ming-Liang at Le Commun, Geneva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, Tsai Ming-Liang directed No Form<\/em>. It features his favourite actor
Lee Kang-sheng, dressed as a monk, neck bent, walking in slow motion through the streets of Taipei. Later, he directed Walker in Hong Kong and asked himself: \u201cIs Hong Kong moving too fast? Can we go more slowly? How much slower?\u201d. These short films form the starting point of the Walker<\/em> series, now made up of ten installments. Each time, Tsai Ming-Liang repeats the same gesture, in different contexts, from Taipei to Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its 25th edition, the Black Movie Festival wanted to highlight the work of a filmmaker it has followed throughout his career. Combined with a programme of some fifteen Taiwanese films, including seven by Tsai Ming-Liang, the exhibition Walker<\/em> is a first for Switzerland. Over the two floors of Le Commun, the exhibition presents a selection of five films from the Walker<\/em> series, associated with an installation combining footage of the performance The Monk from Tang Dynasty <\/em>with a series of drawings and sketches by Tsai Ming-Liang, all set in a scenography specially designed by the artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition is the second collaboration between Black Movie and Centre de la photographie Gen\u00e8ve, after the presentation of Wang Bing. L’\u0152il qui marche <\/em>(produced by Le Bal, Paris) at Centre de la photographie Gen\u00e8ve in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Festival international de films ind\u00e9pendants Black Movie et le Centre de la photographie Gen\u00e8ve pr\u00e9sentent Walker<\/em> au Commun (Gen\u00e8ve), une exposition site-specific<\/em> con\u00e7ue par le cin\u00e9aste et artiste ta\u00efwanais Tsai Ming-Liang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 2012, Tsai Ming-Liang r\u00e9alise No Form<\/em>. Il y met en sc\u00e8ne son acteur f\u00e9tiche Lee Kang-sheng, habill\u00e9 en moine, la nuque pench\u00e9e, traversant au ralenti les rues de Taipei. Plus tard, il r\u00e9alise Walker <\/em>\u00e0 Hong Kong et s\u2019interroge: “Est-ce que Hong Kong bouge trop vite? Peut-on aller plus lentement? \u00c0 quel point?”.
Ces courts m\u00e9trages forment le point de d\u00e9part de la s\u00e9rie des Walker<\/em>, compos\u00e9e de dix opus. \u00c0 chaque fois, Tsai Ming-Liang r\u00e9p\u00e8te le m\u00eame geste, dans des contextes diff\u00e9rents, de Taipei \u00e0 Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour sa 25e \u00e9dition, le Festival Black Movie a souhait\u00e9 mettre en avant le travail d\u2019un cin\u00e9aste qu\u2019il a suivi tout au long de sa carri\u00e8re cin\u00e9matographique. Associ\u00e9e \u00e0 une programmation d\u2019une quinzaine de films ta\u00efwanais, dont sept de Tsai Ming-Liang, l\u2019exposition Walker<\/em> est une premi\u00e8re en Suisse. Sur les deux \u00e9tages du Commun, elle pr\u00e9sente une s\u00e9lection de cinq films de la s\u00e9rie Walker<\/em>, associ\u00e9e \u00e0 une installation m\u00ealant la captation de la performance The Monk from Tang Dynasty <\/em>\u00e0 une s\u00e9rie de dessins et d\u2019esquisses r\u00e9alis\u00e9s par Tsai Ming-Liang, le tout dans une sc\u00e9nographie imagin\u00e9e par l\u2019artiste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette exposition est la deuxi\u00e8me collaboration entre Black Movie et le Centre de la photographie Gen\u00e8ve, apr\u00e8s la pr\u00e9sentation de Wang Bing. L’\u0152il qui marche <\/em>(produite par Le Bal, Paris) au Centre de la photographie Gen\u00e8ve en 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
