Le Tempestaire

Infinite Loop In his Tempestaire 2020 Jacques Perconte digitally interprets the meteorological imagery of Jean Epsteins film Le Tempestaire 1947 After capturing images of a storm in Cap Fagnet Normandy Perconte translates the atmospheric vibrations of the elements and colours of nature into vibrations of digital images whose pixellized textures and deconstructed take on a pictorial dimension reminiscent of the landscape painting of Romanticism and Impressionism Percontes work is a generative video in which images constantly fed by software never repeat themselves The duration of the video is therefore potentially unlimited
