The Love of Statues

by Peter Samson

(Experimental, United Kingdom, 2019, 20', NB, no dialogues)

The Love of Statues

The Love of Statues was inspired by a visit to the Musee D’Automate in Souillac. There is no dialogue but there is a coherent theme which is developed through the imagery, combining found-footage and archive stills (including early photographs from the hospital Salpetrière).
