L'oeil et la cage

Jean-Claude Riga & 46' — 1982

The drift of a reporting team, a former detainee, a multitude … of visitors, during an “open house” day in an abandoned prison. Everything would perhaps only be a question of look: that of the prison guard, the detainee, the viewer. Everything would perhaps only be a question of media, those that replace the eye of the jailer: the electronic camera (surveillance, reporting … the same?), The camera (from the photo service- maton, open day visitors … the same?), the television set … color. Everything would perhaps only be a question of voyeurism, reduction of the gaze, … of the eye; a question of image, depth of image … of communication between inside and outside … of the cage …
