Tu Sempre (2001)

How should we describe a work such as TU SEMPRE by Yann Beauvais Visually it consists of roughly 40 minutes of videotext in movement and arrest largely white text varying in size on a black background interspersed with a small number of images its audio is a dirge of drone music by Thomas Köner punctuated by voiceovers by several individuals sometimes one at a time sometimes several at once Text appears in French English and Italian and voiceovers are in French and English It is a work of immense complexity and depth and this is but the beginning of a possible description Keith Sanborn
