Abstract

In this text, that takes the form of a journal, the artist Eric Baudelaire pictures an exhibition that would interrogate, through the articulation of artworks, the limits between document and fiction. Commenting iconoclasts and iconophiles filmmakers, Baudelaire brings a third way of relation with images, which is developed by Peter Watkins’ border-blurring movies, in order to rethink History and its representations. The author transits, in his writing, through art criticism and a colloquial speech as well. During his trips, Baudelaire takes notes of casual events recalling catastrophes such as the Shoah and Hiroshima and Nagasaki’s atomic bombs. The title, “power of the false”, refers to Gille Deleuze’s concept, relevant to the questioning of image production and circulation nowadays.
