Marylène Negro’s works often bring about a face to face, either two solitudes or two creatures so totally different that nothing but their physical position can point to a relation between them. More often, what one sees is a sound or visual representation that the film contemplates, not to understand it but to represent it from its limitlessness, until it provokes a sweet vertigo. For Marylène Negro, the image represents an area of intercession that defuses the potential violence of a meeting, keeping only the qualities of attention, vigor and benevolence, prerequisites to a possible exchange. The image enables apprehension without prehension. (Nicole Brenez)

Ich sterbe poster
NR

The film begins to move and a voice says: "Ich sterbe", then : "Je meurs" ("I'm dying"). A movie is said to move when the moves through the projection mechanism. Life is said to move on; there's also moving on for expiring in the sense of dying. A brief and interminable text, said by Chekhov and written by Sarraute, that Negro returns to us on an amnesiac image. This tale goes from Chekhov to Sarraute to Negro up to where we are - a body, before a page, a screen, a face. It's interminable. (Marie Muracciole)

Pa poster
6.0

A whimsical dance of jetés and arabesques movement is an older principe than the humid and blinks in a wild tempo that could last indefinitely and yet it stops at 4 minutes and 55 seconds. It is a series of snapshots, flashes without light that record all the times, the present ticks by and the seasons pass by in fast motion while the tree rids itself inside a round of fog, whether leafy and abounding in branches and ramified leaves or on the other hand light and loose. (Suzanne Doppelt)

Dark Continent poster

« A black, metaphysical hole around the face of Mary Magdalene which shifts Freudian psychoanalytical discourse towards the artist’s investigative practice, dualistic between the tenebrous and the (ultimate) radiance of light between the humanity in the filmed face and the eternal divinity of sculpture. » (Matthieu Orléan)

Weg poster

"In the grey full of illusions and alarms, in the confusion, they scatter. Anna is called and undoubtedly those who say this palindromic name out loud conjure up a face, a shoulder. They are singing lullabies of days gone by." (Gaelle Obiégly)

X+ poster
10.0

In 2010 with the full-length film X+, Marylène Negro takes up a new dimension of human experience : the collectivity. "A Picture of Us". What are the aggregating forces that bring forth this drive - brusque or slow, woven from facts, simplifications and resonances that we can call, always approximately, collective history ? The cinema relentlessly records silhouettes, groups, crowds, masses - fleeting passers-by of a period they are going through, tiny extras of a zeitgeist that carries them along. X+ explores the visual and sound forms of presence thanks to which persist or dissolve the argentic traces of these innumerable figures whose existence forms the tissue of humanity and whose mingled gestures - noticed or unnoticed, make up the supposed "collective" substratum of collective history. X+ attains the very principle of figurativity. (Nicole Brenez)
