Rêvolutions, Céleste Boursier-Mougenot : Biennale de Venise

RÊVOLUTIONS

Céleste Boursier-Mougenot revives our taste for the wonderful Italian Mannerist gardens while reaffirming its contemporaneity and the political dimension that underlies it by transforming the French Pavilion into an organic and sound island. Moving trees, whose metabolism determines the movement, slowly oscillate on themselves, drawing animist choreography inside and outside the Pavilion and invent their own sound from the low-voltage electrical currents they generate. Visitors can immerse themselves or float in the harmonic continuum of this ocean of sounds traversed by the inverted images of the world produced by camera obscura.
