Memoirs of the Blind

In 1990, the Louvre invited Jacques Derrida to create a work that reflects on the museum's exposition materials. He chose to focus on the image of a blind man in painting, delving into the philosophical implications of this choice. Through various visual techniques, the film captures Derrida's reflections on the drawings from the Louvre's "Parti-pri" exposition.

The documentary provides a unique perspective by establishing a connection between the artist's gestures and those of the blind man. It invites viewers to contemplate the nature of vision and interpretation in art. This exploration makes it a thought-provoking watch for those interested in philosophy and the visual arts during this era.
