Access

In this collective film, the participants lend their voices to the objects in a museum that nobody looks at: a piece of equipment that calls itself beautiful, accessible and “democratic”, an artwork laid on the floor that visitors trample without seeing it, a chair proud of its view, a leopard that was once wild and has ended up on a seat, an artwork people take to be unfinished, and Ghislaine, the air vent, who reminds us that she keeps these vast spaces aired and has only one fear, that she will be forgotten. Each object introduces itself in the first person, boasts, complains, begs for a little light. With humour, the group turns the usual discourse on access to culture on its head, asking what, in a museum, deserves to be looked at. One voice even pokes fun at the film in the making: it could turn out a little gem, or a turkey.

Film made as part of the MEME Master’s programme.
