Quelque part dans l’inachevé
2019
Installation: two-channel video projection, photography, glass, honey, moss, fabric, vinyl, plexiglass, plywood, glue, plaster, metal
An oneiric fiction that forges video, sound, motion and sculpture into a swirl of pop-apocalyptic imagery.
In this installative configuration the diverse elements come together to generate a destabilizing view. On a table are presented closed vases resembling laboratory flasks in which honey flows slowly like an hourglass. A two-channel video projection captures the eye with a pop-apocalyptic scenario amongst sound instruments, mirrors and plexiglass-framed “artefacts”. The video footage shot in Newfoundland’s Tablelands, provides an otherworldly aura. The overall presentation is somewhere between a quasi science fiction landsite, or perhaps, a re-examined archaeological past; either way, the overall effect lands the viewer in a charged, oneiric entourage.
