Veteran French-Swiss filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard has planned a roadshow based on his last film “The Image Book” that will travel to Paris, Madrid, New York and Singapore, Variety reported. The exhibition will encompass 500 to 600 square meters and will “break down the images of Godard’s film to deliver an interactive experience”, the report said. The Image Book is currently competing for the Palme d’Or at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival, May 8-19. Few details of the film have been disclosed. “Those who will discover the exhibit will walk through a forest of images and sounds,” said Fabrice Aragno, organizer of the exhibit. He compared the installation to Spanish artist Pablo Picasso’s huge anti-war oil painting Guernica, which was created after the bombing of the Basque country village of the same name during the Spanish Civil War. “Except that Guernica related to one historical chapter, whereas The Image Book reflects on 200 years of history and gives some insight on today’s world,” he added. According to Aragno, he and his partners are currently in talks with the Beaubourg Museum in Paris, Arte Reina Sofía in Paris, and the National Gallery in Singapore. The exact date for the exhibitions will be announced later.
