Abstract:
In a dark space, the viewer faces a grass-like surface created by thousands of sheets of paper, printed with numbers, then shredded half-way and arranged to represent the years from 1900 to 1999. A videotape showing a convoluted flow of the same years is projected onto this surface through a mat in the form of a suspended figure. The video projector is moving slowly on rails across the space, so both figures (the mat and the projected figure) are eternally performing an ambiguous activity : flying, swimming, falling, scanning, hovering... The viewers experience the perception and representation of time in various forms : time as space, as movement, as light, as a process of disintegration. These forms coincide for a fleeting moment, then continue their respective existences.
