Shelves

Video installation , 2007

Memory loss is an annoyance, a frustration and a necessity …

Description

A white bookshelf with white books onto which an image of books is projected: novels, comic books, theory books, travel guides, children’s books…

Out of the picture, a voice desperately manipulates the video images, looking for the right book. After a series of ill-adapted bookshelves, the right bookshelf is finally superimposed, one to one, on the volume-space of the projection, leading to reconciliation between the right brain and left brain.
