L' Hypothèse du tableau volé

L'HYPOTHESE DE TABLEAU VOLE is Ruiz's second collaboration with cinematographer Sacha Vierny and author and painter Pierre Klossowski: a piece of research staged with meticulously argued interpretations and artfully reconstructed tableaux-vivants that revolves around a blank space: a missing image in a series of seven paintings by the fictional 19th-century artist Tonnerre from the 19th century, which a collector is keeping in his luxurious mansion and examining (in dialogue with an off-screen narrator) for their interrelationships. They feature opulent views from mythology, historical genre pieces, or family scenes retold in a convoluted and dramatic "roman à clef." Similar elements of colportage also drive the narration of the short film COLLOQUE DE CHIENS, made directly in succession, which is told visually over long stretches as a cinematic photo novel. Tension arises from the friction between standstill and extreme movement. This programme is also about cinema itself. (Silvia Hallensleben)
