Snow White Lucie, Blanche Neige Lucie (1997) Pierre Huyghe

Pierre Huyghes work questions how diverse languages can apply to the same reality. In his short film BlancheNeige Lucie (Snow White Lucie), Huyghe tells the story of Lucie Dolene who sang in the French version of Disneys Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The film shows an aged Lucie humming the famous song while an interview with her runs as subtitles to the images. This mirroring of dubbing and translation serves as the vehicle for Huyghes questioning of multiple identities and the ideal of translating a meaning to create a universal image.
