Infractions@Jehay, in-situ installation

Infractions@Jehay, in-situ installation

In-situ installation presented during summer 2009 near Liège (Belgium)br br A red liquid seemed to have been shed in an isolated grove, leaving traces. The visual effect was expected to be unsettling or ambiguous : What happened there? How do we justify our presence within this fragile ecosystem?br br “Infractions” involves a natural red paint (bone glue, earth pigments, linseed oil) . The paint is laid on the ground and on deadwood and is degrading within roughly 2 months under the influence of weather, mould and insects, vegetation eventually taking over.br br This work was inpired by Roberto Juarroz's poem :br br Living is being in infractionbr of a rule or of another rulebr there is no alternatives :br infringing nothing is being dead.br Reality is Infractionbr Unreality also is.br Between the two, flows a river of mirrorsbr which doesn't appear on any mapbr In this river all the rules dilute,br any infraction becomes another mirror.
