The signs on the street they walk through: various advertising, walls full of grafitti on a staged setting. At the entrance of a shop, a notice on the door says that it’s close. A tiny but significant element on which it is conferred a diegetic function that give us a clue about the naration. As a background entity, it can just be there. Not essential to the understanding of the story. However necessary to the projection of the spectator on a everyday life atmosphere. Textual messages are here to help to invoke or revoke the notion of reality, to shape the fiction • The text can be directly integrate to the images; it is for example the case on the opening sequence, where titles, citations or summaries help in laying the foundations of the storytelling. In fact, as an actor can inflect the sense of the dialogue by simulating emotions; the text to which we add formal attributes (shape, color, location) can inflect the sense of the message itself. Characters and characters work together. Later, typefaces can appear as a temporal indicator, chapter one, chapter two, chapter tree... Otherwise, as a side subtitle that came to increase the value of the oral speech • Those examples are suggestions of what and how can the text be considered as a third element inseparable to images and sound. Text on screen, typography and cinema, their relation. The fiction, the narration. Visibility and readability. Those are the notion questionned in this both textual and visual essay. A non-exhaustive proposition punctuated by a multitude of examples. From general information to collected anectote.Blind Signs, exhibition and publication2019Blind signs is an exhibition showing empty surfaces from various signs. Signs here are objects, entities whose presence or occurrence indicates the presence or occurrence of something else. Surfaces here are considered as delimited areas, flat and sizeable. The surfaces obtained are the product of an equation: signage – [(typography) – (color) – (volume)] = surface. The purpose of this withdrawing, subtract, separating from the material body is to find the underlying structure, to gain a Big Picture. By stripping an idea of its concrete accompaniment, even if the most interesting of generalizations can be found, we lose track of the specific, material, grounding elements which are the source.• Publication – A4 leporello / 8 pJorrdee – Coca-Cola Pt.
