Jürgen Reble

This session will focus on the emblematic work by the german director Jürgen Reble, which notably thinked the transition from silver to digital.

Cofounder of the collective Schmelzdahin [Dissolve yourself] in the 80s, Jürgen Reble twists the chemical processes, and sometimes uses physical destruction, as intentionally as accidentally, of the silver image.
With Yann Beauvais, director and movie critic ; Olivier Schefer, lecturer in aesthetic at the Université Paris I Panthéon - Sorbonne.

In line with Matérialismes à l’œuvre, organized by the École normale supérieure, the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3 and LE BAL.
