This evolutive installation uses the same production method and materials as the posters paste in Seven/seven. Here, there is a binary of exterior/interior at play. The exteriority of the project Seven/seven which looks outwards onto the cityscape and exhibits within a public space, reminiscent of the original Baquié sculpture. As a compliment, The sculpture gives way to painting focuses on interiority and the interior space of the windowless white cube of the gallery HLM. The performative installation means the project slowly evolves over a 2 month period. At first the gallery space is covered in long rolls of paper. Each long roll is painted with simplified brush strokes of two colours, a pistachio and an iridescent rose. These colours connote the muscle tissue of the human body. In the last part of the project these rolls are cut up into fragments and re-composed into rectangular formats with pictorial space. |
