Piotr Kamler

Piotr Kamler is a Réalisateur French of Polish origin, born in 1936.

Born in 1936 in Warsaw, Piotr Kamler, graduate of the Academy of the Art schools of Warsaw, continue its studies in the Art schools of Paris in 1959. While arriving at Paris, it is put in contact with the Research center of the ORTF directed by Pierre Scheaffer where it collaborates with the concrete musicians like Xenakis, Bayle, Malec and where it carries out several court-measurings of research.

Since this date Piotr Kamler saw in Paris and in Warsaw but it is in France that it carries out its films.

As of its foundation, in 1960. the Research center of the O.R.T.F., directed and animated by Pierre Schaeffer, gives his support for the authors eager to join the study reports/ratios of the sound and image. This research was based mental is governed by an experimental step which continues, as from 1942, by successive stages: Studio of Test, Groups Concrete music and Centers Studies on the Radio-TV Between the basic research and the professional production, a common denominator: artistic creation. Already, the interdependence of traditional arts and the novel methods of communication attracts, quickly, of many painters and graphic designers. Some will improvise scenario writers in order to be initiated with electronic fakings, optics or, of cartoon film. Little by little, are worked out thus original, prototype works of a new language.

“The true researcher, by definition, does not recruit himself”, said Pierre Schaeffer, “it arrives”. Piotr Kamler was these.

Piotr Kamler carries out its films with the manner of a craftsman of the Middle Ages. Manufactured its own hands, its table of animation is a rest on which it works out slowly, by successive approaches, an object that it would like perfect. Design with the completion - drawing, taken sights, assembly - it is the work of a recluse.

Piotr Kamler is locked up in the world of the imaginary one. Or rather as he likes to repeat it, a real-world, whose he does nothing but visualize the existence. A world fantastic, populated odd characters and situations, a world baroque made of matters, colors and shades major; electric, complex and, often, contradictory world, which, of a logical relentless interns, points out ours curiously to us. Its fables, like “araignéléphant It”, “Delicious catastrophe” or “Heart of help”, S `endeavor to show that nothing is lost, that the improbable one can be possible…

To give a plastic reality to these strange stories, it is what worries, above all, Piotr Kamler: the search of processes and materials, the visual quality of the spectacle. Intense colors and lights mouvantest emphasize the presence of the characters and the decorations. The music is certainly the only field where Piotr Kamler agrees to establish the permanent bases of an artistic collaboration. The experimental music, the search for new sonorities, reveal an empirical step to him near to his.

In addition to the prices obtained in various international festivals Piotr Kamler was named Chevalier about Arts and Letters in 1975.
