Synopsis
“A passage from total black to total white, from black to light. The transformation of the image/trace/matter takes place through the intrusion of light (progressive opening of the diaphragm), change of speed, space/depth. Light becomes through the image/filter/occasion.”
Giovanna Puggioni
Emmanuel Siety, who devotes a long article to her in Jeune, dure et pure! Une histoire du cinéma d’avant-garde et expérimental en France (2001), writes: “In/contro/luce takes its viewer on a perceptual drift. We know that forests lend themselves to wandering, but perhaps the strength and beauty of In/contro/luce lies in the fact that, while it draws us into a luminous material as if into the depths of a black forest, it never goes beyond its edge”.
