"War runs through the work of Jean-Luc Godard like an ungovernable and traumatic force driving through the artistic trenches of the 20th century. It is an influence that can be felt from the beginning to the end of his career."
"A film is a theoretical rifle and a rifle a practical film, Godard declared in an interview in the seventies, before adding: Fortunately I don't have any gun for I am so short-sighted that I would probably kill all my friends."
"The Fraternity of Metaphors is the title of the exhibition spread across 15 rooms of La Virreina in Barcelona, showcasing 300 exhibits that reflect the ideas of one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century."
Jean-Luc Godard's work is deeply intertwined with the theme of war, serving as both an iconographic motif and a conceptual backbone. His career spans from early films like Operation Beton to his posthumous work, Trailer of a Film That Will Never Exist: Phony Wars. Godard's films reflect the impact of various conflicts, including the Spanish Civil War and Vietnam. An exhibition titled The Fraternity of Metaphors showcases 300 exhibits that explore how war revolutionized cinema, curated by Manuel Asin in collaboration with the Jean-Luc Godard Foundation.
