Des dires dans le paysage (Things said inside the landscape) In-situ installation
Ink on tulle fabric, wood poles, cables Dimensions 50m x 5m x variable Corbigny (Nièvre), June 2006 Des dires dans le
paysage started with a residency in the town
of Corbigny in Burgundy and a research with local
farmers. The idea was to bring into a visual
interaction two forms of territory, one being the
landscape itself, the other being the language. To the
image delivered by meadows, cattle, roads and
buildings, is superimposed traces of what is said,
traces that love through us, ellusive and vollatile.
Those traces are however part of ourselves as
much as what we see and what we posess. This work was
presented within the framework of "Occupied
territories (the arts et the agricultural world)", an
exhibition organized by the METALOVOICE
theater company. There were six large transluscent
8x3m banners, on which were written sayings, that had
been collected during June 2006 among farmers in this
region.
