Behind the panels, there are men - this warning strange that we can cross the highway when they are in work invites the driver to slow down because, as he is very well said: behind the panels, there are many men. This report undermines the myth of a perfect universe motorway sanitized, sealed and as the pole appearing in the filmography of Godard, it testifies to the presence of a mechanical working behind the scenes to produce our travel. The off-camera integrates the frame. As to better themselves, it would be to disclose the material of art.
Thus, Edgar Degas Michel Polnareff including the introduction of his song The vacuum chamber we gives to listen to the hubbub of the orchestra tuning, which should have remained hidden, just like a secret, joined the field of representation. First domain of avant-garde, this outburst on the margin has gradually expanded to popular culture. Today in the era of "making of" we all know that behind the walls, there are men. Men who sometimes skeptical, wondering about this limit, which - beyond the mannerisms of the drips, the handheld camera, the vagueness of chic overlooked - continues to separate what is in progress, what is completed, that what belongs to the private and what is given to the public.


The precursor is a dark image borrowed from Gilles Deleuze to explain the zig zag motion as the original philosopher in the world was created. Whatever you do not see the final stage before the lightning revelation.
Behind the panels, there are men, a component part of this delicate and crucial moment, where everything still seems possible. The freeze frame is that exposure has occurred too early, at least earlier than usual. A disturbance in the protocol was in effect, interrupting the ongoing work and leaving him in a state of apparent incompleteness.
Some parts are just so out of their cash, while others are still packed, or lying on the ground. Appear incomplete picture rails while circulation passages are curiously blocked. Behind the panels, there are men, based on this misunderstanding between provisional suspension between instability and balance.
At this stage, nothing can accurately distinguish the works of display devices. Without the filter of the attachment, the identifications are more delicate. Between shelves, sketches on paper, wooden constructions, under cover volumes, it is sometimes difficult to decide on the exact status of these objects that make up this patchwork erupted. And yet everything is there. The exhibit, even in its fragmentary nature, provides all the clues to piece together what could be played if an event had not removed the dark precursor at work.
