Description
Summary:The four verbs in this title bear witness to different theoretical frameworks -that some may find irreconciliable- that guided my ethnographic research with a camera. Starting from a cinematographic conception that links documentation and creation, I was brought to take interest in the singular knowledge produced by the encounter between cameraman and those whom s/he films, in the heuristic « lie » that it provokes -to put it in Jean Rouch’s terms- and in the specificity of the filmic act in ethnography. As the somatic engagement during the use of the camera has gradually come to be the main indicator of my practice, I suggest that the work of the ethnographer-cineast, like that of the people filmed, should be mainly guided by the constraints and potentialities of his/her raw material with whom s/he necessarily engages.
