| In a room bathed in red light (submarine, photo
lab, brothel, theatre), I have built several crystal towers on a
wooden table. These towers
(glasses, flower vases, bottles….) try to reach the ceiling
in an ever more precarious balance. It is very likely that during
the show some of the towers will fall, leaving razor sharp pieces
all around.
These constructions are a seismograph, a Chinese circus, a theatre
of hysteria, a cryogenically frozen circulatory system, a nervous
system, a firework, a red zone, an exercise in sculpture, a ruinous
plan, the interior of the Titanic, a musical expectation, a still
hourglass, a monument to
“l’amour fou,” a mirage, a “phenomenon of
ecstasy,” a wound, a
hot-house of glass, a mineral, a stalactite, a landscape of entropy,
a scene from Hieronymus Bosch, a fevered dream, a drunken vision,
an
architecture made pregnant, a scaffolding, an “exquisite corpse,”
a
challenge to the throat of a prima donna, a thought for Marnie by
Alfred Hitchcock, a waterfall, Red Sea, shattered glass, end of
party.
