Urgent ou à quoi bon exécuter des projets puisque le projet est en lui-même une jouissance suffisante (1977)

Нью-Йорк. 8 декабря 1980 года. Черная дата в истории рок-музыки. Джон Леннон выходит из его нью-йоркских апартаментов «Дакота», где он проживает со своей женой Йоко Оно. Марк Чэпман нажимает на курок и выпускает в рок-идола пять пуль подряд. Почему? За что? Что толкнуло этого на вид нормального, женатого человека убить легенду музыки и лидера молодежи 60-х? За несколько дней до трагедии психическое состояние Чэпмана стремительно ухудшается, он предается жесткой депрессии, его гнетет обыденность и мещанство, его все больше раздражает поведение фанатов, собирающихся у «Дакоты». Нет, жизнь не здесь, а там, «Над пропастью во ржи»… Нездоровая приверженность классическому роману приводит Чэпмана к потере чувства реальности и совершению одного из самых громких преступлений в истории человечества.

"Using the same, three times repeating dialogue – dramatic conversation between man and woman – Jerzy Skolimowski from Poland, Slovak director Peter Solan and Czech director Zbynìk Brynych shot three different stories. The result was an extraordinary experiment in the world cinema, which we can call an insight in the relationships of men and women of different age groups, an analysis of love and marriage of those who are at the beginning, in the middle or going towards the end of their life."

550 artists were interviewed over ten years. At some point during those interviews, they were asked a question and told to answer with one word only.

A woman sits alone on a chair at a table in a room on one of the top floors of an asylum. Bright spot lights dot the night, sometimes shining on her window. She sharpens pencils and writes on a page in a copy book. The pencil point often breaks under her fingers' force. She places broken points outside the window on the sill. A satanic figure is somewhere nearby, animated but of straw or clay, not flesh. She finishes her writing, tears the paper from the pad, folds it, places it in an envelope, and slips it through a slot. Is she writing to her husband? "Sweetheart, come." Written by

Writes Imai, "As a photographer during the 1970s, my interest in capturing time led me to explore the video medium. After utilizing video in two or three works, I saw a similarity between videotape and an ancient scroll, in that they both capture a story of our time. I started using physical videotape as a metaphorical representation of time, rolling out the magnetic tape from right to left, representing a narrative from beginning to end."
