Prise directe assembles interviews in the form of mix of incisive traits (
Parrino,
Morris,
Armleder), encompassing curves, and oblique investigations (
Veilhan,
Walsh and
Mosset,
Siegelaub,
Gygi) of mutually enriched parallels (Armaly on
Goldstein,
Miller twice). Unequalled notorieties (who do not prejudge the importance of what they say) and experiences or situations as diverse as a telephone conversation, an email, a session with a psychoanalyst, the recounting of the end of a meal or a word uttered during a chance encounter.
Christophe Cherix is curator of prints and illustrated books at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
