Wartin Pantois: Avant l’incendie
Installation
February 28 – April 6 2019.
Project Description
Avant l’incendie (before the fire) is an installation formed of black and white digital prints, wall paintings, objects, gold foil and an audio device.
Characters, carrying their own individual valorization framework, are blind to the world and to potential changes. In front of them are inaccessible objects that can serve as alternatives or accelerators to the announced fire. Nearby, as a window into a world, images diverted from the film La société du spectacle by Guy Debord. Time passes. The fire burns us from the inside…
