Installation
Visitors enter an installation that seems selfcontained, with all the power of the final sequence of Robert Aldrich's movie Kiss me Deadly, made in 1955. With this device, i place the viewer in the center of a sensory and mental experience that has a direct effect on his or her bearings. In a more direct way still, the hero of Rear Window attains a mental image, not simply because he is a photographer, but because he is in a state of physical impotence: he is to an extent reduced to a pure optical situation. Gilles Deleuze, L'image-mouvement This creates a void, "a black hole" that allows visitors access to a different space-time. An instance's slippage; a possible "elsewhere" that conjures up the fantastic. An interval creating an atmosphere between fiction and reality.
