HyperMnémosine – Festival OVNI

Nights, days, temples, parking lots, pachinkos, cities, countryside, forests, lakes, trains, passers-by, passengers or sleepers… A story of the meeting of the first Europeans by the surprised Japanese, the first images filmed of Japan by an envoy of the Lumière brothers, visions of Tokyo and the electronic future of images by Chris Marker, Warhol icon of an advertisement for video cassettes, the first video game for the blind, webcams of the Fukushima disaster… Pierre Giner turns over the travel diary made up of several tens of thousands of short sequences captured during his stays and trips to Kyoto and Japan, using mobile phones and pocket cameras, in search of the first image, of astonishment, of déjà vu.
