The Roses of Jay DeFeo and Bruce Conner: Belated Thoughts on Intermediality and Friendship

Bruce Conner’s 1967 short film, The White Rose, is an artifact of a particular place and time—Fillmore Street, San Francisco, one day in 1965—and a document of Conner’s friendship with the artist Jay DeFeo, painter of The Rose, the monumental painting at its center, which she labored over for eight...

Le court métrage The White Rose réalisée par Bruce Conner (1967) est une œuvre qui appartient à un lieu et une date déterminés – Fillmore Street, San Francisco, un jour de 1965 – mais c’est aussi un document sur l’amitié de Conner avec l’artiste Jay DeFeo, peintre de The Rose, et sur la peinture monumentale à laquelle DeFeo travailla pendant huit ans, et qui dut être retirée de son appartement par une équipe professionnelle lorsqu’elle fut contrainte d’abandonner sa résidence et son atelier. L’intermédialité joue un rôle central dans l’œuvre de Bruce Conner, reflétant son parcours d’artiste visuel qu’il a intégré dans son travail de cinéaste dès A Movie en 1958. Ce court métrage poignant réalisé des années plus tard sur son amie et son œuvre est peut-être le plus écrit de ses films, mais c’est un film aussi profondément intermédial, en ce que la capture d’images est faite caméra à l’épaule simulant le geste du pinceau manié par le peintre et aussi parce que ce très court film présente, en quelques minutes, les espaces irrévocables, les textures, les activités, et les pertes de ce jour où The Rose a quitté sa demeure.
