"During one long winter's night in a neon-lit Paris, a restless young man wanders around to let himself be found by something that most people otherwise try to avoid: ghosts. And the night is full of unexpected encounters in this ultra-chic film, which is neither documentary nor fiction, but rather an adaptation of the idea that Jacques Derrida defines in a guest star appearance on the cinema screen: that film plus psychoanalysis is equal to the science of ghosts - ie. a form of 'spectrography', which the French artist SMITH in her self-ironic, self-conscious, science-fiction essay of a film, conjures up with thermal infrared and in the dialogue's mosaic of quotes of rambling French philosophy, from Breton and Barthes to Merleau-Ponty and Derrida himself. Hyper-modern and rich in (retro) references and above all its own ideas, for there are other ways to answer the question of how far you believe in ghosts, than yes or no. And it is this range of possibilities that 'Spectrographies' charts with great ingenuity."
'Spectrographies' is the debut movie of interdisciplinary artist SMITH artist, photographer and filmmaker their work can be seen as an observation of the constructions, deconstructions, relocations and moults of the identity. Through the hybridization of techniques, mediums, the use of new technologies and collaborations with scientists and philosophers, SMITH develops a poetics of metamorphosis. Through the representation of ghostly and fantasmatic figures, as well as post-traumatic transformations, they capture negative and hollow subjectivation processes intertwined with self-effacement and self-image issues. Accounting for creative destruction, SMITH's works invite viewers to be immersed in a dark and diffuse atmosphere, which is characteristic of their auratic and ethereal style, and conducive to daydream and meditation.
Following a lengthy and meticulous production process, the movie enjoyed screenings at various locations around Paris including the famous Centre Pompidou, Gaite Lyrique, Musee du Jeu de Paume and David Lynch's famous Silencio Club. Additional screenings also took place in Berlin and Copenhagen.
The composer for the sound score to 'Spectrographies', Victoria Lukas, also writes and records under various pseudonyms including Vita, Inkamera and Zerkalo; with the cream of Victoria's work having been released via Last Known Trajectory, Clone and Frustrated Funk.
SMITH and Lukas, who have been collaborating for the past ten years, worked both separately and together for almost one year on the directions the music should take to accompany and highlight the film's intentions. Within 'Spectrographies' is unleashed what we wholeheartedly recognize to be Victoria's most intimate, intriguing, ambitious, and challenging work to date representing what we at LKT feel to be her bravest and most- marked departure from many of the often restrictive barriers and constraints that the world of dance music predicates.
