The 61st edition of the Mostra Internazionale del Nuovo Cinema in Pesaro, Italy, will feature the screening-performance of Trois couches ne suffisent pas (Additive Trichromy for 3 Projectors) by Guy Fihman (1977–1979, 50'), on June 21 at 3:30 p.m.

“Reconstitution of a device-performance that Guy Fihman created at MBXA on January 21, 1980, on the wake of his essay-films exploring different cinematic hypotheses of three-colour matrixes. Following up on the colour permutations conducted in Ultrarouge-Infraviolet (1974) departing from Camille Pissarro’s Toits Rouges (1877), Guy Fihman made Trois Couches ne suffisent pas (1977-79) exposing the three superimposed colour layers of the 16mm film separately and in different circumstances. At a later stage, he manipulated the same film with varying methods and pigments, both print and reversal positive. Trois Couches ne suffisent pas represents its ‘expanded’ version, projecting and superimposing each monochrome component from three 16mm projectors with red, green, and blue filters. Going back to the origins of the potentials of thrichromatism (both in terms of film and of retina) Guy Fihman transitions from colour cinema to the cinema of colours, letting us perceive a luxuriant infinity of nuances and subtle contrasts, emergences, wide and deep movements never seen before, be they muted or resounding.” – Dominique Willoughby
