Chronorama, 2007


Interactive video installation.
Courtesy Odile Ouizeman Gallery.

 

The installation Chronorama uses subtle interactivity. In the absence of the spectator, the video only shows the sea lightly lit by the horizon. Then, when someone penetrates into the sensitive area of the installation, the rays of zenithal light begin to bath the surface of the water, accompanied, if the spectator continues to move, by an almost translucent white yacht - like a ghostly sailing ship or a spectral appearance. And if there is no movement in the space, the boat returns to nothingness.(...) Vanessa Morisset
