Entrées de secours1982


From the late ‘70s through the early ‘80s, Jérôme de Missolz filmed a number of notable acts at Le Palace, a Paris theater and the epicenter of the city’s underground scene. Using a Super 8 camera he shot DEVO, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Clash, The Cramps, Public Image Ltd., Richard Hell, Iggy Pop, and many others. During the editing process, he synched up unrelated audio—from the likes of Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, the Stooges, as well as ‘60s pop hits—with his Super 8 footage, and then manipulated the elements further. Finally, he blew it up to 16mm. The result was an 18-minute experimental work. De Missolz said his aim was “to transcribe the fury of the link between the electricity of music and the loss of identity in cities.” (dangerousminds.net)
