je ne pensais pas au départ faire ce film, mais voilà...
différentes personnes qui m'ont accompagnée
mentalement dans la fabrication de ce film:
Marie F. / ses photos animées des Buttes Chaumont
puis Georges Perec / "Tentative d'épuisement d'un lieu parisien"
puis enfin Gilles Deleuze / "Pensée et Cinéma"
via E. / b(E)au

I instinctively loved this video, Dindou, but at first without understanding why.
Funnily enough, shortly after looking at your film I came across a programme on Arte on "la philosophie de l'ordinaire"...
The words of Gilles Deleuze are suggestive but (deliberately?) obscure for a non-intellectual like myself, but a diligent Wikepedia search produced some some clarification.
Then I looked up the beautiful text of Georges Perec and everything became crystal clear.
Did you actually film this in place St. Sulpice?
If so, you very cleverly avoided showing the fountain, the church, the kiosk, or any other obvious clues, to ''inventory photograph and recount'' only what is visible from a fixed point on the table on the terrace of a cafe - things to which one does not usually attach any importance.
Which of the three cafés is it - the one 'qui fait tabac'?
''Décrire le reste : ce que l'on ne note généralement pas, ce qui ne se remarque pas, ce qui n'a pas d'importance : ce qui se passe quand il ne se passe rien, sinon du temps"....
So, if I read your intention correctly, the raw images, filmed objectively exactly as they happen, are a perfect illustration of "la rencontre entre l'image de la pensée qui précède la pensée et l'image cinématographique".
Do I sense another category emerging, which would include your video of the town square with the bycicles, the legs of pedestrians and the sound of the clock chiming or the traveling shot of bric-a-brac Timbaudien?
Brava, Dindou, as always I'm lost in admiration of the complexity and mutiple layers of meaning and food for reflection you manage to compress into the tiny space of a 3-minute video.
Miky papa, as always thank you for your encouraging comment!
I hope I will not disappoint you if I tell you the picture were not taken at Saint Sulpice, but at a terrasse somewhere else in Paris. I just took pictures (photographies), one by one, one photography being "l'image de la pensée cinématographique". And 2 pictures do/make cinema.
The idea came to me while my friend Marie was showing me very fast on the screen of her camera a serie of pictures of people in a park taken from the same point of view: motion pictures! It was a movie!
Then I chose Perec's method that you explained very well. And suddenly, taking pictures in stead of filming revealed the movement, people, "ce qui passe quand il ne se passe rien" - sinon des gens, sinon du mouvement...
What seems nice to me in Gilles Deleuze theory is that he isolates this moment that comes before thinking and words and identifies it as an "image" and it is very nice to have the same vision about the process of film making (before the movie exists and quite different of what the idea becomes): just like you have an idea, an image of idea, and while talking your thinking slighty changes... I am not really an intellectual either, but I think I understand it quite instinctevely.
Hm... an other category?! it sounds interesting... maybe I will not put the bric et brac of timbaud, although I understand what you are thinking about ways of describing... I will try to change the categories anyway, there is a need!
Thanks again Miky papa
