Burning of a “Légère Inquiétude”
mix of burnt materials collected from all other artworks exhibited & golden jar - 2014
What if our worries don’t appear to the others easily?
Burning of a “Légère Inquiétude” is an olfactory performance/installation that results from the action of burning some spare materials of all the artworks shown.
Magic trick or auto-da-fé, it is really a part of the exhibition that is transformed into smoke. Ambiguous creative process that could be interpreted as, on one hand, a gentle portrait of the others artists’ works and on the other hand, to stab them in the back. This artwork plays with the in-between: in-between team spirit and egocentrism, in-between unseen and everywhere, in-between substantial and none substantial.
Maybe the smell will force you to remember your own worries?
This smell is not new for you. It might remind you some bad memories when everything was just about to disappear, just before the disaster.
What did happen in this show? Is it a piece of art or an accident in the art?
When everything is burning, isn’t it the end of any process?
