What does it mean – “to touch with the camera”? A silent film recording in an untamed form – on film negative – reveals the outlines of Parisian architecture, streets and tree foliage. Almost a family film, in which modernist artist Malespine ventures into the city with his closest people – but suddenly the city geometry unfolds before them.

An associative flow and montage with currents less predictable than those of the Seine. This visual and kinetic impressionist catalogue was created by biologist, neuropsychiatrist, zoologist and mathematician Malespine, better known as a poet and artist, the founder of a Dadaist group in Lyon and the publication Manomètre. During the production and editing of this short film, he listened to Fugue in A minor by Bach and Sonata in D minor, K.9, by Scarlatti. The distribution copy itself was rediscovered in the archives of the Cinémathèque Française in 1997.
