Florence Pazzottu
The title is that of a long poem by Jack Spicer, composed of short chapters, almost all of which are rendered here. Florence Pazzottu invites it in to the South Alpine village of La Pomme Chinoise (The Chinese Apple) (FID 2019), scattering it to the wind : written on black cardboard or loose sheets, interrupted by Australian admirer’s rock music, recited in turn by the inhabitants of the village who, in perfect harmony with the Californian’s poetry, add their grain of salt, fine or coarse. If, for Spicer, the poet is a radio, a receptacle and transmitter of voices and things that come to him from the Outside, then Florence Pazzottu’s gesture is one of very high fidelity: casting the poem into the world, she returns it to the Outside and transforms cinema into the most lively and flexible operator of translation.
