This is Vincent Dieutre’s first feature film he directed while writing and teaching at university. An intimate, fragmented, painful, non-chronological journal of a young gay man in Rome at the end of the 1980s, Rome désolée enjoyed critical and popular success to allow Dieutre to continue inventing his cinema in the first person. A period of rehab, syringes, ex lovers, and AIDS: forging an introspective story inscribed into the metaphorical territory of these years of “desolation” and addiction.
Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006). It is interesting that while Warhol and Nameth were experimenting with psychedelic happenings that combined rock, film and performance, the video art pioneers Nam June Paik, Stephen Beck, Eric Siegel and Steina Vasulka were researching in a similar direction.
Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
