Stéphane Marti
Stephane Marti made experimental cinema the place of invention of a filmic practice baroque and blazing. Major scenario writer of one of the most important tendencies of the French experimental cinema of the Seventies close relation of the corporal art: “The School of the body”, where turbid identities and ritual records of imaginary homoérotique, engraved by the superone were mélèrent which combined visual splendour with artistic and against-cultural independence. Enthusiastic defender of this medium, Stephan Marti conceives, since, a operatic esthetics of the intimacy, whose telluric declines mannerists and forces, golds and crimsons, forge the quantified coordinates of its “small theatres of the body”. He explores there “the colours of the pallet of the male body: the sculptural body, the disguised body, the body androgyne, the ravaged body, the crowned body, the prohibited body, the body pleasure, the body object, the body softness, the released body, the purified body”.

Oratorio
Oratorio

by Stephane Marti (2008, 9 min)


With: Thomas Lagrève, Samuel Ganes and Romain Poli
Music: Oratorio de Noël by Bach (opening)
Text: Dictionnaire de l’amour by Dominique Noguez (extracted)
Mixing: David Bart

Driven by the baroque lyricism and the energy of Bach’s’Christmas Oratorio’, the super-8 pictures, in which the black hues dominate, seize in staccato style three loose close males who wander through three Parisian spots, the cemetery of ‘Père Lachaise’ being one of them. A few sentences selected from Dominique Noguez’s ‘Dictionnaire de l’amour’ throw a light on their complicity and are used as a counterpoint to their meandering choreography.
