简介:In Artistes en Zone Troublés, 2000 hours of personal video footage shot by Lionel Soukaz in the early 1990s are edited by Stéphane Gérard to form a 38-minute eulogy for, and celebration of, Soukaz’s partner, the artist Hervé Couergou. Soukaz’s and Gérard’s collaborative film comes to form a beautifully-rendered portrait of the then 29 year-old Couergou, whose life is abruptly cut short by illness, and is a meditation on creativity and death during the injustices of the AIDS crisis.
