In Byrne’s project, a journeyman French actor real name Michel Debrane, struggles to
re-construct that edifice under the gaze of a camera, while being questioned from off-screen
by an actress who plays the journalist Chaîne. Separated by age, and by gender, and formed
by different epochs, Sartre a Marxist Modernist, and Chaîne a post ’68 feminist, the schism
between the two is dramatised in Byrne’s project through the use of surround sound technology.
In Homme à Femmes (Michel Debrane), Sartre never escapes the gaze of the camera, his
alienated voice emanating from within the rectangular image.
