Fade by Jean-Claude Ruggirello

Fade describes the dissolve between two film sequences, a surreptitious form of editing. It is a word which stems from an old vocabulary, ill-suited to the digital cinema, that uninterrupted movement of the image which has succeeded the movement of images. Jean-Claude Ruggirello’s film, consisting of a succession of shots of sunsets found on the Internet, questions the fade or dissolve as a cinematic figure. These videos of landscapes have been lined up on the same horizon in such a way as to create the effect of a collage, of a long, very long, panoramic shot making it possible to embrace a large part of the world, and bring into a single set a host of experienced moments which individuals have one day felt like sharing. Starting from the network, and the sharing of data and gigabytes, and using these holiday video standards to construct an experimental film by more than one token, which also calls to mind the contemporary mobile panoramas of the invention of film. We shall be talking about this film, this endless day’s-end projected like an installation, with Jean-Claude Ruggirello.
