Abstract

The text has as its starting point the press conference given by Jean-Luc Godard, through a smartphone, to journalists at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival about his film The image book (2018), made with archive’s images. Presenting himself on the small screen, as in an art performance, the filmmaker proposes a reflection on contemporary media reconfigurations in their discoursive networks. Godard "plays" with language (by decomposing text, image and sound) and highlights its limits, under the urgency of contemporary political challenges and a clash with the possibility of representation. He overlaps anachronistic temporalities as a form of political manifest.
