Surfaces de rencontres temporaires
Nicolas Fenouillat, 2006
Durée: 15 minutes
Ces surfaces, sont légèrement surélevées du sol, par des palettes ou des bottes de pailles, elles construisent à chaque présentation des situations orientées, par l’intermédiaire du feu de camp, du barbecue, ambiance camp de base d’une expédition immobile.
À chaque épisodes, des hôtes s’installent, embarquent des propositions, des projets, des extensions…plug-ins, au gré des occasions et des rencontres.
Surfaces of temporary meetings
Installation for stars watching, listening and reading while leaning against molehills. On the night of the opening Nikko Fenouillat performs a drum piece called « In the future we won’t be playing guitar around a camp fire but we’ll play drums around a barbecue ». Like in every expedition, we take a break, we give a thought over the rest of the journey, a moment of rest when explorators, around a comp fire, chat, laugh, talk about life and projects.
These surfaces, are slightly raised from the ground with palettes or straw bales, they take place at every performance, oriented situations, through the campfire, the barbecue, a base camp athmosphere and immobile expedition. At each episode, hosts gather around, put forth propositions, projects, extensions… Plug-ins.
These surfaces host shelters, artificial plants, greenhouses, barbecue material, drinks, sofas… Sound, readings, a place for idleness, a place to talk about the horizon, a surface to look at the stars.
