With this cahier-like book, Daïchi Saïto proposes a personal reflection on language and images that doesn’t attempt to theorize practice, but rather recounts it. Saïto doesn’t present himself as an expert, but rather a simple observer of that which occurs. Moving the Sleeping Images of Things Towards the Light is a debut publication for Saïto, primarily a filmmaker and cofounder of Montréal film collective Double Negative. The preface is signed by André Habib, experimental film expert and professor of Film Studies at Université de Montréal. The original text in English is included.
