C.) signed certificate installation view Galerie5213 Berlin © Vittorio Santoro In the video Il fait jour ? (Il ne fait pas nuit) (2007) an anonymous and barefoot man located somewhere in the room of unspecified city conjugates some sentences mentioning different motives for killing, over and over again. The sentences are: "Il y en a qui tuent pour voler, / certains tuent même par amour, / un chasseur tue toujours pour jouer, / moi, j'ai tué pour être le meilleur" ["Some kill to steal,/ some kill out of passion,/a hunter always kills to play,/I have killed to be the best"]. Is this the confession of a specific person? Or the vocal diagram of a more abstract collective or mood? |
