During the 80's the French psychoanalyst and philosopher Felix Guattari wrote a screenplay in collaboration with the American filmmaker Robert Kramer: Un amour d'UIQ [A love of UIQ], the script for a film that was never made. This script narrates the contact between the human race and a subatomic entity and shows the interest of the authors to rethink the cinematographic apparatus and the political implications of cinema. A cript that condenses a desire, a tension between image and text, an structure that wants to be another structure. From the script, the "Essay for a missing script" project is formalized in three acts that overflow differents relationships around the original script.
"The need to have walls" is the thrid act of this project, which takes as an starting point the movie The State of Things (1982) by Wim Wenders, in which a film director and his team moved to Portugal to record a science fiction movie called "The Survivors". Wenders film addresses the director's difficulties in finishing that film. A hotel and a pool by the sea is the man location of the film and the place to which this narration is directed.
An structure that holds water, a wall that hides a text, a voice that narrates an absence.
All this here is fiction, stories only exist in stories. And the protagonist is fire.
-Is it a film?
-It would have been a film. - (...)
-It's a film.
