 In Arles the weight of tradition lies especially heavily. But in a small storefront unaffiliated with Off or the Rencontres, it did not. There, the German conceptual artist Carsten Höller shot participants during the festivals’ opening week, with the photographer John Reuter and the technician Harriet Browse, using a 1977 wooden Polaroid camera the size of a steamer trunk as the participants tried out parlor games from his published anthology “Book of Games.”

在阿爾勒，傳統的分量尤其沉重。但在一家與Off或Rencontres無關的小店裡，卻並非如此。在那裡，德國概念藝術家卡斯滕·霍勒(Carsten Höller)與攝影師約翰·路透(John Reuter)和技術員哈麗特·布勞斯(Harriet Browse)在電影節開幕週期間，用一台1977年的木製寶麗來相機(蒸汽之書大小)拍攝了參與者，參與者們嘗試了他出版的選集《遊戲之書》(BookBook) 中的遊戲版本。
