La vidéo Point, ligne, particules, est l’adaptation du manifeste esthétique de Kandinsky Point, ligne, plan, 1926 qui renvoie dos à dos les canons formalistes de l’abstraction lyrique et ceux du tag.
Tournée en temps réel, cette vidéo montre l’artiste muni d’une bombe rouge attendant de réaliser une peinture dont l’aspect dépendra du mouvement et de la vitesse d’un train. Baghriche renonce à transmettre un message politique, social ou artistique au profit d’une mise en évidence des conditions de possibilité et de visibilité de son geste.
This video shows a performance in which the artist revisits the principles of formal composi- tion, outlined by Wassily Kandinsky in his work entitled “Point and Line to Plane” (1926). In this book Kandinsky defines the line as the result of a combination of a point in movement and the expression of the force of an action.
Fayçal Baghriche illustrates Kandinsky’s concept by choosing a train as a surface. At the moment the train departs, the artist begins to spray a point on the wagon’s sur- face by simply pressing down on the spray-can’s valve. The resulting point becomes a line as soon as the train accelerates. Finally, the line disappears as the train reach- es a speed at which the paint can no longer adhere to its surface. Herewith the art- ist’s meagre intervention reduces the train to its simple form and its elementary speed.
