Blackout

Spring 2020. In lockdown in a mountain village with his partner and young child, art critic and curator Yann Chateigne Tytelman becomes haunted by the wordless and stoic ghost of his father. He takes this time of withdrawal from the rhythms of everyday life and work to meditate on silence in our lives, silence in art, in literature, music and in philosophy. In a series of short fragments, he circles the void at the heart of modern society, brought into sharp focus by the spectre of disease and death hanging over a stilled world.
