The coolness of the sacred space contrasted with the chaos of the nearby street, the quietness asking for introspection - so I just sat to meditate. But the silence was quickly interrupted by the creaking sound and harrowing vision, of a chair sliding along the floor of the atrium. Orchestrated by electro-magnetic captors installed outside the church, the chair was following the movements of the street's passers-by, while evoking the existence of a parallel, supernatural, dimension. With an apparent economy of means - a chair, an invisible system and a bit of humour -, the sound of an everyday object transforms the essence of its surroundings. This earliest installation* by Celeste Boursier-Mougenot 1 sur 3 encapsulates the poetic subtleness of his world. 15/03/10 07:51
