Le m\u00eame paysage routier est enregistr\u00e9 le 14 juillet \u00e0 deux moments distincts, entre 17 h 25 et 17 h 55 puis entre 23 h et 23 h 30, et pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 en split screen. Le DVD propose \u00e9galement, au d\u00e9marrage, un acc\u00e8s al\u00e9atoire \u00e0 l&rsquo;un de deux angles de vue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Le dispositif met ainsi en pr\u00e9sence deux temporalit\u00e9s d&rsquo;un m\u00eame lieu. Jour et nuit, lumi\u00e8re naturelle et obscurit\u00e9, circulation et r\u00e9p\u00e9tition coexistent dans un m\u00eame espace visuel. La route demeure presque identique tandis que ses conditions de perception se transforment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><em>Highway<\/em> fait r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 <em>L&rsquo;Empire des lumi\u00e8res<\/em> de Ren\u00e9 Magritte, s\u00e9rie dans laquelle une sc\u00e8ne nocturne et un ciel diurne sont r\u00e9unis au sein d&rsquo;une m\u00eame image. L\u00e0 o\u00f9 Magritte produit cette coexistence par la peinture, <em>Highway<\/em> l&rsquo;obtient par l&rsquo;enregistrement et le montage : deux moments r\u00e9ellement s\u00e9par\u00e9s dans le temps deviennent simultan\u00e9s \u00e0 l&rsquo;\u00e9cran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">L&rsquo;autoroute appara\u00eet alors moins comme un sujet que comme une structure de r\u00e9p\u00e9tition. Les v\u00e9hicules entrent et sortent du cadre, les trajectoires se succ\u00e8dent et les m\u00eames gestes semblent se reproduire ind\u00e9finiment. Le d\u00e9placement, normalement associ\u00e9 au changement, devient paradoxalement l&rsquo;une des formes du quotidien et de la routine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Le split screen transforme ainsi un trajet ordinaire en exp\u00e9rience temporelle. Il ne s&rsquo;agit plus seulement d&rsquo;aller d&rsquo;un point \u00e0 un autre, mais d&rsquo;observer ce qui demeure et ce qui change lorsqu&rsquo;un m\u00eame espace est travers\u00e9 \u00e0 diff\u00e9rents moments.<\/p>\n<p>Entre paysage, circulation et dur\u00e9e, <em>Highway<\/em> superpose deux pr\u00e9sents qui n&rsquo;ont jamais coexist\u00e9. Le montage produit une temporalit\u00e9 impossible : un m\u00eame lieu simultan\u00e9ment v\u00e9cu dans le jour et dans la nuit.<\/p>\n<p>2005, vid\u00e9o, DVD, Joinville-le-Pont &#8211; Paris.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-202-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"468\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/red.reynalddrouhin.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/07\/Highway.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/red.reynalddrouhin.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/07\/Highway.mp4\">https:\/\/red.reynalddrouhin.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/07\/Highway.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>DVD 32min avec un acc\u00e8s al\u00e9atoire sur un des 2 angles au d\u00e9marrage.

The same road landscape was recorded on July 14 at two different times, first between 5:25 p.m. and 5:55 p.m., then between 11:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., and presented in split screen. At startup, the DVD also offers random access to one of two viewpoints.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"375\" data-end=\"637\">The device thus brings together two temporalities of the same place. Day and night, natural light and darkness, circulation and repetition coexist within the same visual space. The road remains almost unchanged while the conditions of perception are transformed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"964\"><em data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"648\">Highway<\/em> refers to Ren\u00e9 Magritte\u2019s <em data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"696\">The Empire of Light<\/em>, a series in which a nocturnal scene and a daytime sky coexist within the same image. Where Magritte produces this coexistence through painting, <em data-start=\"842\" data-end=\"851\">Highway<\/em> achieves it through recording and editing: two moments actually separated in time become simultaneous on screen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"1262\">The motorway appears less as a subject than as a structure of repetition. Vehicles enter and leave the frame, trajectories follow one another, and the same gestures seem to repeat indefinitely. Movement, normally associated with change, paradoxically becomes one of the forms of everyday routine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1507\">The split screen thus transforms an ordinary journey into a temporal experience. The point is no longer simply to move from one place to another, but to observe what remains and what changes when the same space is crossed at different moments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1728\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Between landscape, circulation, and duration, <em data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1564\">Highway<\/em> superimposes two presents that never actually coexisted. Editing produces an impossible temporality: the same place experienced simultaneously by day and by night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2005, vid\u00e9o, DVD al\u00e9atoire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":203,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[52],"tags":[62,629,180,1002,630,116,894,341,631,323,65,165,625,627,1005,622,178,27,624,270,1004,213,142,551,12,51,514,632,623,134,179,1003,887,626,158,1006,487,214,322,628,294,98,19,281,87],"class_list":["post-202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-video","tag-aleatoire","tag-aller-retour","tag-autoroute","tag-banlieue","tag-boulot","tag-chemin","tag-circulation","tag-deplacement","tag-dodo","tag-duree","tag-dvd","tag-ecran","tag-empire-des-lumieres","tag-extrait","tag-hasard","tag-joinville-le-pont","tag-jour","tag-lumiere","tag-magritte","tag-maison","tag-montage","tag-mouvement","tag-nuit","tag-paris","tag-passage","tag-paysage","tag-perception","tag-quotidien","tag-reference","tag-repetition","tag-route","tag-routine","tag-simultaneite","tag-son-stereo","tag-split-screen","tag-surrealisme","tag-temporalite","tag-temps","tag-trajet","tag-trajets","tag-travail","tag-video","tag-ville","tag-vitesse","tag-voiture"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s72hz6-highway","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/hw.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1507,"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202\/revisions\/1507"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reynalddrouhin.net\/wrks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
