LE BAL presents an immersive installation designed with Wang Bing, one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers, and curated by Diane Dufour and Dominique Païni.
"The political scope of Wang Bing’s films, never openly declared, is manifest therefore in an ethics of patience, of concentration, of persistence. Just being there, not too close, not too far away, waiting, not leaving, not intervening, knowing nothing beforehand, letting the truth of his subject unfold on its own: this minimal approach reflects his willingness to submit to whatever happens. But, however much he may cede the foreground to others, Wang Bing himself does not disappear."
The films presented have been screened in their entirety on the occasion of the Wang Bing retrospective at La Cinémathèque française from June 9 to 21, 2021.
The book, co-edited for the exhibition by Delpire & co, Roma Publications and LE BAL, is supported by the CNAP and the Galerie Chantal Crousel, Paris.
