    **click here to access to the french version** BRICE DELLSPERGER Solitaires Exhibition from June 20 to July 30, 2020 43, rue de la Commune de Paris F-93230 Romainville For his new solo sow at Air de Paris, Brice Dellsperger presents two new films «Body Double 36» and «Body Double 37». «My Body Double videos are like doubles of movie sequences from the 70s or 80s: the title refers to Brian de Palma’s film (Body Double, 1984). To this day the series includes forty films with various running times, where the obsessive motif is the body of the double in mainstream movies. Following a rigorous but emancipating process, each selected scene is re-enacted by a single transvestite actor or actress, a super character who interprets all the parts by becoming double.» By appropriating the linear/ authoritarian form of a movie, the Body Double films aim at disrupting normative sexual genres through the means of a camp aesthetic.» Body Double 36 (2019) After Perfect (James Bridges, 1985) with Jean Biche. Aerobics were the fashion in the 80s! James Bridges’ Perfect was released in 1985. The film superficially describes human relationships in a gym club in Los Angeles, seen through the eyes of a journalist (John Travolta) who is beguiled by an androgynous gym coach (Jamie Lee Curtis). Studies on the postmodern body in contemporary American society are linked to the context of the 80s, a period which recognized an ideal body-object caught up by the AIDS epidemic. The identification of the HIV virus had a major influence on the perception and representation of bodies and sexuality.

I also dedicate this book to my ancestors from my mother’s side, who for centuries were able to move from Spain to Mexico and loved both countries in their hearts. This lesson remains for future generations. My father, of Spanish Sephardic origin, helped me so much, encouraging me in every intellectual pursuit. I hope that contemporary researchers share their knowledge and open their minds and hearts, valuing what other researchers do whatever their language or nation, as some academics have done for me.

  • Rétrospective – Le Secret
    Rétrospective – Le Secret Blow out, de Brian de Palma USA – 1981 – 1h47 - Couleur Fiche pédagogique rédigée par Sébastien Perreux Scénario : Brian de Palma Image : Vilmos Zsigmond Montage : Paul Hirsch Musique : Pino Donaggio Interprètes : John Travolta, Nancy Allen, John Lithgow Synopsis Jack est preneur de son dans le cinéma, et cherche un cri effroyable pour le film d’horreur sur lequel il travaille. Une nuit, alors qu’il capte des bruits dans la nature, il assiste à un accident de voiture dont il enregistre chaque détail sonore. Voyant que la voiture passe à travers la balustrade d’un pont et tombe à l’eau, il se jette au secours des passagers. Puis le lendemain, en écoutant l’enregistrement de l’accident de la veille, il se rend compte que le hasard n’y est sûrement pour rien. Avant la projection Biographie *Cinéaste américain né en 1940 d’origine italienne comme beaucoup d’autres grands réalisateurs de cette époque (Scorsese, Coppola…), même si ses origines n’auront pas autant d’importance dans son œuvre que pour ses contemporains. *C’est un adolescent plutôt doué, même plus, qui témoigne de vraies aptitudes pour les sciences et se lance dans l’invention de petites machines, encouragé en cela par des parents assez exigeants du point de vue de l’éducation. *A noter, trois chocs vécus dans sa jeunesse, tous essentiels dans la construction de sa personnalité : *Choc intime, personnel. Un épisode de sa jeunesse, moins anecdotique qu’il n’y paraît et dont on trouve des traces dans sa filmographie lorsque le jeune Brian découvrit sa mère inanimée, après qu’elle eut tenté de mettre fin à ses jours, du fait des infidélités à répétition du père.

Although often displaying extreme violence, such films paradoxically provide openings for critically empathetic viewings which allow viewers with diverse backgrounds and experiences to identify with victims and survivors and transcend elements of subjective identity. This project analyzes the capacity of horror films, including those of William Friedkin, David Cronenberg, Brian DePalma and others, to offer viewers space in which to be critically empathetic. Regarding gender issues in the genre as outlined by such scholars as Carol J. Clover, and the emerging scholarship on critical empathy, such as that of Todd DeStigter, this project offers new ways of thinking about horror both on screen and off.
