Please take a look on Mr Jean Christian Bourcart's page; Stardust. Wouldn't this be a great idea for a wonderful PRIME trailer?
Stardust
New York, 2005-2006
In my neighborhood, just behind the void of the World Trade Center, there is a multiplex theater where I go early in the morning. There, in the empty screening rooms, I photograph the little window that separates the projection cabin from the public space; or more precisely, I photograph the image that appears when the film passes through the window.
Around me, the loud darkness of the empty room. I like the idea of the show going on with nobody to watch it. There is a slight feeling of fear and excitement: it is forbidden to photograph in movie theaters.
The window is often dirty, dusty, with fingerprints on it. Or the flux of light is so strong that each grain of dust becomes iridescent. The image, partially stopped on its way towards the big screen, is completely fuzzy: a simple moving mass of colors and forms. Nothing is recognizable except maybe a blue sky or a silhouette. The traces on the glass become the only matter of the movie.
Maybe this is close to a newborn’s vision of his parents bending over the crib. This image is captured so close to its source that it exists as a quasi-image, something primordial, like a sonogram of the film; histories are dissolved, stars become shadows. Abstraction wins over Hollywood. All is to be imagined anew.
