In Angers we went to the Musée des Beaux Arts and this exhibition was on.
Absolutely mindbending.
Artists: Loriot & Mélia
"Vu-pas-vu"
DM says, and I quote:
"Incredibly clever, innovative and fresh. I have attached a few snaps to try to explain. Difficult.
Here's the deal. The single source of light shines on the broken bits of glass on the floor and.......
....via a series of precisely placed mirror 'chips', reflect the 'shadows' of some of those bits, up onto the ceiling, directly above, to reconstruct......
a perfect image of the bottle. Bloody genius, I tell you."
The whole exhibition consists of Heath Robinson type machines turning cogs and wheels or using pumps and air to make strategically placed bits of rubbish or specific art pieces project recognizable images on to the walls.
This becomes an image of a man's head....
...and this is how it is done. The suspended light moves very slightly back and forth in the air from the air conditioning and animates the head, as though it is moving left and right.
This is a latex glove inflated by an aquarium pump
More to come - later I think
What a find - absolutely extraordinary.
