![]() En cours... (1) (in progress... (1))
Ephemeral installation in a meadow near Trois-Gots (FR), Summer 2012Alu Dibond, Stainless steel plate, wood, CCTV camera Festival de bords de Vire, Usine Utopik In a meadow, where the grass was left to grow, horizontal arrows are planted, that one can only perceive when getting near. In the back, among brambles, a distorting miror is reflecting the field; from a distance, he seems an abstract painting. ![]() Those elements are pretexts to infringe what is usually forbidden, entering a agricultural land and walking high grass. With en cours...(1), we transpose Richard Long's Art made by walking into a collective, undeterministic and dispersed process. The purpose of en cours...(1) is to invite the public to simply walk/draw its way in the grass, following the arrows, that he finds, or not. The invitation is to let oneself go in the pure pleasure of wandering. As a counterpoint, there is a surveillance camera hanging from a nearby cliff, that webcasts the view of the meadow throughout the entire summer. It records weather variations, passage of days, the perambulations and the drawn tracks. ![]() Drawing of the tracks as they were 4 months after the set-up. (August 2012)
