Dans cette série, Burgin imagine qu’André Breton a voulu faire un film à partir de son livre culte, Nadja, lequel disparaît. Quelques années plus tard, on retrouve des images de ce film… L’artiste mêle ainsi des images tirées du réel et des images mentales (souvenirs personnels, réminiscences de la mémoire collective, fantasmes, etc.). Il utilise notamment des images médiatiques ou électroniques, qu’il détourne et s’approprie. L’interaction entre le texte et l’image est également une composante essentielle de son travail.

As early as the 1960s, Victor Burgin’s work was considered to be close to conceptual art. His work uses a combination of media including photographs, texts, installations
and videos. He makes a critical analysis of society (sexuality, power, etc) and is above all interested in the status of imagery: its relationship with reality, modes of perception and the memory. He mixes images from reality with mental images – personal memories, collective memory, fantasies, etc.
The artist uses images from the press as well as computer-generated images that he transforms and manipulates. The interaction of text and imagery is also an important part of his work.
