Abstract
A video and photographic project that probes questions of desire and excess in a formally experimental work blending film extracts, archive and newly shot material. Assassin creates a new text in which the binding effects of narrative have been dissolved by using a mosaic of film fragments\n\n(clips, music, subtitles, dialogue) from French crime thrillers from the 1950s and 60s. It is grounded in research into cinematic\n\ngrammatology which aims to give rise to a rigorous rethinking of the possibilities of cinema and its role in memory and identity.\n\nMaziere forms part of the tradition of artists and filmmakers who work with archive materials, dislocating them from their original\n\npurpose and intention, revealing new readings, meanings and questions. Assassin creates a multilayered, intertextual fusion of\n\nthe cultural and the personal, shifting the emphasis back to the power of individual vision. To the anthropological and social\n\ndimension of reworking archive film, Mazière has added the psychological role of the self. The idea for the work was developed\n\nfrom Maziere’s essay The Big Search on the use of found footage in the journal Art In-Sight (Issue 28, summer 2005, ISSN\n\n1460-4051).\n\nAssassin was in the exhibition Final Cut, Medienkunst Und Kino – an international survey of the contemporary use of archival\n\nfootage by visual artists, curated by Hermann Noring and including works by Candice Breitz, Klaus Vom Bruch, Pierre Huyghe,\n\nMark Lewis, Paul McCarthy and Matthias Muller. Exhibited at a dozen key international venues including Images (Toronto),\n\nScanners (New York) as well as venues in France, Germany, Portugal and Serbia. Formed a central part of Maziere’s\n\nretrospective screening funded by Film London at the Picture House Cinema in London in May 2007. Citations include\n\nCatherine Elwes (2005); David Curtis (2007).\n\nAssassin exists in two versions: a 3 channel video projection for gallery installation and a single channel version for screenings.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
