cravanism -on frozen border- [2006 2min11sec miniDV]


Arthur Cravan, poet and boxer, lived through manifests, announcements and drunken blows, that missed their target. Just like modernism, of which he later became a ‘legendary representative’, Cravan was put on the map of art’s history, with his disappearance. I hope that the ‘stolen frames’ of this short video piece will be effective someday. I will state it in French, as it has been said by someone who knew more: " D'autres préfèrent le monologue intérieur. Moi non. J'aime mieux battre. "
