Collection of the Artist
Lebredt comments: Drama recalls a scene, one pertinent to the story of cinema. Here, in three takes, a patron of the cinema, perhaps, has turned to face the apparatus, the very source of the projected image. Blinded by the beam, he has raised his hand as a screen, not so much as to protect his eyes but to make the light retreat and allow its source to reveal itself. Here, according to Lacan, '...in its relation to desire, reality appears only as marginal.'
The auxiliary title is a quote from Jacques Lacan's The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psycho-Analysis, 1977, p. 107. The images are based on photographs of the artist by Ernest Mayer.
