About this title

Synopsis

Comment repr�senter ce qui ne peut se voir ? Comment faire image de chairs qui aspirent � se d�sincarner ? Comment capter les traces, les effets, les lumi�res, les ombres, les soupirs ou les cris d'exp�riences ineffables ? Pour Ernest Pignon-Ernest, qui a toujours fait du corps l'objet et le sujet de ses explorations, la rencontre avec les grandes mystiques chr�tiennes ne pouvait relever que d'un questionnement passionn�, dans lequel sensualit� et spiritualit� avaient toute leur part, et d'un d�fi artistique. Comment cr�er les figures m�mes de l'extase en �voquant Marie-Madeleine, Hildegarde de Bingen, Ang�le de Foligno, Catherine de Sienne, Th�r�se d'Avila, Marie de l'Incarnation, Louise du N�ant et Madame Guyon ? Comment restituer par des traits de tels transports, de tels exc�s, de telles effractions sublim�es ?
