Chris Marker AKA Christian Hippolyte François Georges Bouche-Villeneuve
[Jul. 29 1921 - Jul. 29 2012]
French writer, photojournalist, filmmaker, and essayist. Of particular
note is his short film
La Jetée
and his features
Sans Soleil
(
Sunless
) and
Level Five
,
both of which feature a french female narrator and a focus on retro-futuristic
digital technologies. At times, the
virtual portal functionality
(VPD) of
Marker's work can be said to share properties with those of certain
NES
titles and '90's
Windows
™ applications. His work is often
characterized by the development of various
CODEX
systems and a deep and sustained
examination of boredom as it pertains to the persistence of cultural ritual
resulting from over-industrialization:
"I've been 'round the world several times and now only banality still interests me. On this trip I've tracked it with the relentlessness of a bounty hunter. At dawn we'll be in Tokyo."
