Castle

Castle © Benoît Labourdette.
Poem in automatic writing about « Castle »
“When the eye, emerging from the darkness, suddenly sees a luminous object, it will seem much larger at first sight than in the long run.” Leonardo da Vinci, Notebooks (optical). Life was a gift. Continued flight into the mental space of old films, in coal black. The adult world, incomprehensible to a dominated, abused child. July 26, 2014 release of the film « Is science immoral ? » (Benoît Labourdette, 5’11s, 2014)}} in the context of programming “Life of Castle” at Montmaur Castle. There are times when you have the feeling, if not the certainty, that you’ve missed the point. The functions and necessities of art, which is not a luxury, but life and our very nature. Giving life, being, giving a hand, discovering it. A postcard seems to come to life, and write its own legend. At times, past, present, fiction and reality are intertwined.
