LE VISITEUR PARFAIT - SOUND INSTALLATION

“Images with an acoustic form, as a quantity of infinite events, so long-drawn-out that they end up in a fluidity that is not purely descriptive because it is made up of everything that happens. The stages of space, from close up to far away, from the serious to the insignificant, take shape in a strange ’four-dimensional’ perspective. (…) Each instant seems like a corridor of reflection, listening, astonishment, distraction, surprise. (...) Unfettered, the real slides over a level, the layers of space and time are blurred on one and the same horizon with no breaks. Is it by reaching this kind of level that one finally manages to no longer avoid being there? The present, nothing but the present, without anything encroaching on itself. (...) full moments, welded in layers of disconcerting accolades: double glazing and a urinal and a postcard panorama, 17th, 18th and the railway line and Hamburg, and smoke and flags. Everything is there without invention, pure truthfulness of a disquieting present moment. Forms of transport pass, the sun, too, and the days as well, a general procession, marchpast of the congested humdrum. Is this what reality really is? There are things even more abyssal, the engulfment of the street in the place, trucks, vans and cars, construction site noises: cranes, boat horns, the sky, time, the velvety coating of rain, means of locomotion.”
