Throughout the festival's Books in mind, you can see, the Couvent des Cordeliers, the photographic travel book called Trip to China in search of Felix lost .
In fact, you do not know perhaps, but a few months ago our international star, nay the world, reading aloud, I mean of course Felix Libris, has gone .. . That fans can rest assured, we have found since.
That's how it happened: The
June 3, 2009, Felix Libris cancel several tours in China and disappears without any sign of life. On 1 July 2009, when the world was still no news Felix, James Lear, a young filmmaker and photographer, decides to leave in the old neighborhoods in ruins from Shanghai to the foothills of the Himalayas to find the missing star. It searches for two long months ... in vain.
The photographs bear witness to this long journey through China in search of Felix lost. I warn you right now, ladies, you will find in this show any pictures of your idol, not even dressed (which I know well, do you only moderately interested anyway). Maybe you can find, however, added to the aesthetic quality and remarkable photographs, other interest that will make you forget for a moment Felix ...
In this regard, let us (or we pour out) a few moments on James Lear, filmmaker and photographer early if any. His professional career began in 2005 when, aged only 17 years old, he was hired as chief operator of Werner Herzog on the set of Grizzly Man . Then in 2006, he directed his first documentary in Siberia, intimate experience of the shaman , before devoting himself to the vast multimedia work around Felix Libris. Close friend of Felix, James felt it his duty to find her and made a point of honor to find him. Which he did. But you'll have to wait for a future post the story of the emotional reunion and the many pitfalls that James Lear met on his way.
For those who did not have time to admire this magnificent exhibition during the festival, a second chance will be given at the Centre Universitaire Malesherbes, 108 Boulevard Malesherbes, Paris 17e, November 24 to December 18, 2009.
