A series of philosophical meditations on the nature of aesthetics
across a wide array of filmmaking styles Images, whether filmic or
not, cannot be replaced by words. Yet words can make images. This
is the general thesis underlying So What, a collection of essays on
canonical filmmakers like Luchino Visconti and Orson Welles; more
experimental directors, such as Marguerite Duras and Albert Serra;
and visual artists, including Hollis Frampton and Agnes Martin.
Alexander GarcIa DUEttmann aims to make these films as if they did
not precede his text, capturing their idea and experience. If the
relationship between filmic image and text is a heterogeneous one,
then this heterogeneity must leave a trace. This is why the book's
chapters are organized not according to historical periods or on
the basis of film theories but rather by single concepts that
function like dictionary entries. The chapters adopt different
forms, blurring the lines between art and philosophy. So What is a
practical exercise in "making films with words," inviting readers
to draw out insights from its conceptual play. So What compiles
previously untranslated and hard-to-find essays into a single
volume, one that represents the absorbing and singular thought
process of a major contemporary philosopher.
