Biography
Born in the United Kingdom in 1950, lives and works in France since 1975. Since 1978 David Wharry has been working on GENERAL PICTURE, an evolving work currently made up of about twenty “episodes”. These films can be shown together, separately or in different orders. GENERAL PICTURE explores the fundamental components of the cinematographic spectacle and in particular its theatrical aspect, the notion of projection, the relationship between the projected image and the spectator. In this crime (wanted by its main accomplice, the spectator) GENERAL PICTURE involves different genres of commercial cinema, and its structure and its narrative interweaving allow and generate this freedom of movement without guilt.

The actors: a projector, a screen, a voice, an audience and a cinema. The locations: “here” and “there.” The situation: an audience is sitting in the dark in a cinema. The film begins when the projector is switched on. The projector is running empty, projecting only a bright white rectangle on the screen. The action begins when the voice asks the audience: “Are you there?” “Yes, you’re there,” the voice replies for us. “But one day you won’t be there, will you?” The voice isn’t “there.” Where is it? “Here.” Where? On the other side of the screen. The voice then asks us to project ourselves into a scenario, into the film of that inevitable eventuality we all prefer not to think about: the passage from one side of the screen to the other, from being “there” to “no longer being there,” from “here” to “there.” And what better place to do this than in a cinema?
