Articulated around the visibility of sexuality, this argument deals with the examination of desire and the representation of sex in cinema in Claude Simon’s Triptych under the couples to see / know and to veil / unveil, that is to say a desire of exactness and knowledge by an effort of total clarity or, on the contrary, by the refusal of any shadow to the account of pure transparency and which engages a discourse of Triptych from the ob-stage to the scene. This immerses the reader in a sort of voyeurism at the heart of a fictionality worked by dolorism. Based on the mimetic illusion, this discursive strategy put in place is supposed to give a true representation of sex and sexuality. Finally showing its own functioning, Triptych marks, in that it brings to light "unbelief with regard to meta-narratives".
