Les Allumeuses by documentation celine duval :: Home
Meta Description
The sixty-one videos, each titled Les Allumeuses, 1998–2010, with a subtitle, are static shots of neat piles of magazine clippings on a brick hearth. Each video, tightly framing a stack of cuttings, shows a hand picking up a picture from the pile and immediately taking it off camera. We hear it being crumpled. And we hear the fire it has just fed. Picture by picture, the pile diminishes until it’s gone.
