Le Jeu de Paume
T : +33 (0)1 47 03 12 50

France

The exhibition at the Jeu de Paume revolves around the film Dicta (the plural of ‘dictum’, coming from the Latin, meaning an undisputed truth). Following Dicta I, based on the autobiographical writings of Bertolt Brecht’s Telling the Truth: 5 Difficulties (1934), written when the latter fled the German regime, Dicta is built around a series of safewords. Influenced by Dadaism and conceptual art, the film takes the form of a collage and regroups an ensemble of inaudible and contradictory statements, as obscure as the images.
