Born in 1948, Thierry Kuntzel is one of the foremost figures of video art of his generation. For the Fondation Cartier he has created Nostos III, the third wing of a triptych concerned with the recollection—the forgetting–of the image.
The subject is a moving journey into the heart of memory, by means of family photos that are subjected to an inexorable movement of decomposition before disappearing altogether. Projected in video into a large screen, these figures illustrate the transient nature of life and the steady flow of time, a central theme of the artist’s work. Thierry Kuntzel’s work introduces us into a fictitious setting where the video image raises questions about perception, dramatizes our system of vision and records the implacable, steady passage of time. Video thus becomes an act of meditation, a pure experience.
