Item 3539 - Actor

Video

Actor by Michael Mazière UK, 10 mins, 2010 Video, Black & White, Sound Mazière is best known for his work in which Hollywood fiction and autobiographical fact are distilled into a poetic form. Mazière's work provides an intriguing parallel between the production of meaning in cinema and the operation of the unconscious mind. In this film, Mazière reworks cinema footage in which the actor Alain Delon appears in order to create a new narrative which speaks of cinema, masculinity and the existential and physical erosion of time upon the physical and cinematic body.
