Directed by Francis Ford Coppola in 1982, One from the Heart tells the story of Hank and Frannie, both worn out by their life as a couple. Entirely filmed in a studio and revealing visionary outdoor reconstitutions, the chromo-lit movie is a true apology of deceptive mechanisms. Rather than resorting to his power of illusion, the author considers simulacrum as a substitute force, a kind of meta-presence of the world.

So what brings together the outline of a Nike logo, artificial landscapes that feed off neon light, a city – amusement park whose scales and lights are illusionary, rewritten “captchas” printed in 3D, and painted images, the fruit of rearranged saturated signs?

Imitating reality is like diluting its exemplary nature in an invisible machinery aiming to multiply its forms of hyper representation. After being digested in a sort of giant kaleidoscope, it bursts into different pieces of the same game, that then collapse into each other and trigger a stutter, like a compulsive repetition.

The present hyper realities have transformed certain representations or logotypes into their artificial substitutes. They are foreign reincarnations of visual topos, revealing their appearance mechanism even if this means including it to the device, so as to generate an exposed interplay of illusions.

The simulacrum’s all-powerful economy ambiguously manipulates any reference to the authentic. It remains a hyper version, an augmented reality allowing the cohabitation of two models, the result of a reality and its quasi-virtualized version.
