Interlude [2016]
Bronze, aluminium, verre, gaz
Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec

Interlude met le feu au centre d’un téléviseur remodelé : un hommage à la domestication du feu il y a 400 000 ans. Destiné à diffuser sons et images, le téléviseur se trouve détourné de sa fonction médiatique et transformé en foyer. Le préfixe « télé », qui signifie « au loin », évoque la distance produite par l’appareil entre le contenu représenté et le spectateur. En faisant appel à une innovation datant du paléolithique, Interlude tente de rétablir la communication immédiate qu’aurait interrompue la machine à images. Contrairement aux instruments d’information qui nous éloignent de l’événement, Interlude rapproche les gens autour du feu, rayonnant sans média interposé.

Interlude [2016]
Bronze, aluminium, glass, natural gas
National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec

Interlude places a fire in the core of a remodeled television set, a tribute to it’s original domestication over 400,000 years ago. Designed for broadcasting sound and image, the television is here diverted from its primary function and transformed into a fireplace. The prefix “tele”, which means “afar”, evokes a sense of the distance produced by the device between the content and the viewer. Using a Paleolithic innovation, Interlude attempts to restore a form of immediate communication frequently interrupted by technological mediation. Unlike the devices that tend to keep us away from the event, Interlude draws people closer together around the fire, radiating without interposed media.
