C’est une marche au désert. La marche d’un jeune Guinéen arrivé en France à l’hiver 2016. Sa parole a quelque chose de commun avec certains versets des Écritures. Le film les fait dialoguer à travers le corps d’une femme rendue au silence d’un deuil biblique et contemporain. Au sol, puis au mur, le mapping génère l’empreinte d’un espace absent : une ouverture traversée par la lumière d’un soleil, lentement déplacée suivant l’inflexion de sa trajectoire. Envisagée comme phénomène physique autant que comme inquiétude métaphysique, cette découpe lumineuse dément les propriétés d’un éclairage fonctionnel, exhaustif et constant, en provoquant une coïncidence ponctuelle et partielle de la lumière avec la sculpture.
It is a walk to the desert. The walk of a young Guinean boy arrived in France at the end of 2016. His voice, his words have something in common with some of the Scriptures’ verses. They dialogue through the silent body of a woman who grieves a biblical and contemporary loss. In this work, the mapping generates a luminous print of a virtual space: a window crossed by a beam of sunlight moving slowly according to a predefined trajectory. Considered a physical phenomenon as much as a metaphysical concern, this rectangle of light contradicts the properties of a functional and constant lighting, causing a limited and partial coincidence between light and sculpture.
