Memoirs of the Blind (1991)

Memoires d'aveugle

In 1990, the Louvre invited the French philosopher Jacques Derrida to create a visual and philosophical product based on the materials of the museum's exposition. The philosopher chose the image of a blind man in painting. In the film, Jacques Derrida reflects on the drawings of the Louvre's "Parti-pri" exposition. The director captures the emerging thought and, with the help of various representative means, allows us to see the rapprochement that Jacques Derrida establishes between the gesture of the artist and the gestures of the blind man.
