OCTOBER 2008 INFO
-- [ READ MORE ] -- HER[T]Z FREQUENZ & BITE OF GOD RMX new single
With their new single “Her(t)z Frequenz”, Die Form are now returning their concept art to the clubs. A driving beat builds the foundation for an energetic interplay between Fichots cold, electronically manipulated vocals and Eliane P.’s mesmerising, fairy-like melodies. The title track is a cunning combination of the catchiest grooves ever to...

Philippe Fichot BioPhotoGraphie/y 2012
-- [ READ MORE ] -- Dans le labyrinthe : la chambre noire et l'oeil mécanique...
Né en 1958, Philippe Fichot étudie le dessin, la photographie (prise de vue, développement, tirage, photogramme...) et les techniques d'impression en offset (photogravure, montage, machine...) dès l'âge de 16 ans. Il découvre alors le surréalisme, Hans Bellmer et Unica Zürn, Man Ray, Paul Delvaux, Sade, Lautréamont, Henri Michaux......

DIE FORM / ExHuman
-- [ READ MORE ] -- ExHuman - second volet du diptyque InHuman/ExHuman -, expose l'autre face de DIE FORM où les sons et la thématique sont davantage orientés vers l'abstraction, l'électronique et la géométrie. Toujours à la recherche de nouvelles expérimentations, les voix ont fait l'objet d'hybridations et les sonorités futuristes ont été mixées avec des sons analogiques traditionnels. Trois nouveaux...

THE VISIONARY GARDEN 2 book...
-- [ READ MORE ] -- La photographie est cette aptitude à suspendre le flux assassin du temps. Plus que toute autre expression de l’art, cette captivité d’une lumière signifiante rend compte de l’obsessionnelle vanité de l’homme qui prétend saisir la vérité de l’instant et l’instant lui-même. Ce « coin de la création vu à travers un tempérament »1 est sublimé par l’intelligence de l’œil qui ne cherche pas...
|
DIE FORM / InHuman
-- [ READ MORE ] -- InHuman, first volet of a diptych which will be completed by ExHuman, marks an evolution, but also a renewal as far as tools, technique and composition are concerned. Éliane's vocals hold a preponderant place as revealer of emotions, contrasting with the dark universe of images, the cruelty of some texts and the para-mechanical option of the electronic music.
Among other things, it is...
|
About InHuman...
-- [ READ MORE ] -- “Art can only arise from a consensual face to face between love and death. This human basic fear of divine union urges Man into a self study. He’s forced to stay aware of his tragic fate and transcend the rotting of the flesh, which reminds him inexorably of his doom.
InHuman is this deeper and deeper search of the mysterious ways of our mind, the foreseeing picture of our connection to the...

DIE FORM / Extremum/XX
-- [ READ MORE ] -- After 3 years of research, this new project marking a rupture with "Duality" and the previous albums, wants to be a reflection on the absurd, the madness, the excessiveness.
It is also about a look on the past century, the real and the unreal, the manipulations, the barbarity and the (de)construction of the body.
Extremum represents a sound peak, a mathematical extreme, while XX could be,...
|
DIE FORM / Duality
-- [ READ MORE ] -- Die Form have been making their own distinctively unsettling brand of dark electronic music for nearly two decades. Comprised of synthesist/vocalist Philippe Fichot and vocalist Eliane P, Die Form's approach to electronic music is stark, sensual, and strikingly beautiful - filled with operatic overtones, classical textures, tribalism, and the type of sensual imagery that is normally kept hidden...
|
About Photogrammes...
-- [ READ MORE ] -- L’expérience volontaire de la douleur est intrinsèquement humaine. Elle naît de la clairvoyance tragique et désespérée de l’homme qui admet la réalité manifeste de la mort. Il ne s’agit plus de feindre cette destinée que l’on réserve aux autres. Feinte ou vérité instinctive que l’homme pose d’emblée comme postulat : dès lors que la mort sera, nous ne serons plus. Pourquoi craindre alors ce à quoi...

-- [ READ MORE ] -- Philippe Fichot is the creator of Die Form, and has been a photographer for more than 33 years.

by Erminia Passannanti
Book cover photo : Philippe Fichot / Die Form
A ragion veduta, poiché alcuni moventi profondi della scrittura dell’autrice, ben presenti anche ne Il Roveto, sembrano appartenere ad una zona di confine tra realtà e immaginazione, inconscio e ragione, in cui l’io si fa teatro di apparizioni e sottrazioni governate da una “logica fantastica” (così Guido...
