Archive as a Creative Act: The Absolute Cinema of Gregory J. Markopoulos and the Temenos Utopia

with François Bovier

Artists who produce archives from their own work approach archival activity as a creative gesture: here, the archive literally becomes a work of art. In parallel with the “archival impulse” that has run through contemporary art since the 1960s, this research project examines the “performative agency” of archives when they are constituted from “image acts”. The selected corpus is based on an extremely singular case, the cinematographic work of Gregory J. Markopoulos (1928-1992) and the Temenos archives.

«Heidi en Chine», une affaire de famille

Diplômé de l'ECAL en 2002 Après deux documentaires remarqués ( Le Mariage en Afrique  et  Des Bleus dans la police ), il décidait en 2009 de filmer l’installation en Chine d’une famille fribourgeoise, restant sagement derrière sa caméra, en observateur, comme pour éviter de devoir affronter lui-même cette immersion dans un pays dont il est, qu’il le veuille ou non, issu. C’est alors, pour la première fois, qu’il a ressenti le besoin de partir à la découverte de ses racines. Car ne dit-on pas qu’il est impossible de savoir où l’on va si on ne sait pas d’où l’on vient?
