MB : so mimi who asks if you have to be a seasoned literary person?
No, not seasoned, you don't have to be a seasoned literary person, you have to understand what goes on in the head of someone who we can say is literary, how he works.
Literary means that we use words, not only for what they mean but also for what they can evoke, that's what is important.
(Q - Tina: here we come together a little bit with what you were saying about the staging, a little bit about the context, the atmosphere...)
MB : yes but I always said of Max that he was a marketing communicator and he praised the product, that is to say that he never spoke of a product as it was, it was necessarily necessary highlight the good side of it and then make someone want to acquire it and therefore the words take on meaning, sometimes carry symbolism. They are not always chosen because they contain this letter or that clue or whatever. There are words that are there for atmosphere.
It's funny because ultimately what Max Valentin was able to reproach me with in some of his writings about the paintings, namely that they had, how he wrote that in the solutions of the Trésor d'Orval... parasitizing his riddles, I think that his vocabulary has just as much parasitized his riddles if I want to take the image which in my opinion is improper.
But I think that in the enigmas there is a whole atmosphere that Max translated, which is part of the reasons that made the thing last and especially the exploitation that he made of it through these curses, because everything that 'he tells in his madits, gives or can give to one word or another, a meaning that it really or not really has and indeed as Mimi very rightly points out by saying do you have to be a seasoned literary person? or not, there are still some vocabulary words that you need to know a little to understand their scope or meaning.
I think Régis had a good command of the language, so you have to be careful with that.
(Q - ??: without necessarily using literary works?)
MB : yes, yes, I'm not talking about literary works, I'm talking about the sense that for him the work was his treasure hunt, it was his enigmas and in relation to his enigmas, moreover the only thing that I find really interesting in Father Méhus, provided that there are interesting things to find there that I haven't seen, it doesn't matter I haven't analyzed the text in depth, but what I find interesting is is that he had wrapped these enigmas in a story, a scenario.
Scenario that he did not reconstitute with me, because he did not have the time I suppose, he made a presentation text we will say but not a scenario.
And what is interesting is to think that he tried to give a certain color, a certain atmosphere to all that and I brought a different atmosphere with these paintings, but had already brought him an atmosphere, and the The atmosphere is not necessarily elements of Super Solution.
