Entre respect de l’intégrité des sources et volonté de création : le cinéma de Péter Forgács
This article intends to address the creative uses of visual archives in connection with the representation of the Holocaust. It’s based on a comparison between the use of one 1944 shot in two cinematic essay Meanwhile somewhere. 1940-1943 (Péter Forgács, 1994) and Respite (Harun Farocki, 2007). The author demonstrates the relevance to think about reuse in terms of "dispositif" created during the editing process. This is a way to deal with archives without addressing only the questions of archives misuses, archives refusal or archives fetishism. In this perspective, the creative gestures dealing with the materiality of the document are understood as mediating resources to deal with past, present and future of the visual archives.
