WORK OF THE FOREST
First exhibited, Foundation pour l’architecture,
Brussels, 1992
The 19th c. notion of ‘interiority’, described by Marcel Proust, is contrasted with the architectural style most
associated with it, Art Nouveau. I used Proust’s ‘whirling room’ to stage conflicting histories of African art, the Belgian Congo and Art Nouveau. Three transparent screens as a continuous panorama allow for multiple points of view and access; underscoring the different relationships that the viewer can have with this material.
The panorama allows multiple views. Above: perspectival authority and classical HW cinema converge. Interior: the whirling panorama disrupts closure. Exterior: Separate screens allow competing narratives to unfold and converge.
Installation: 3 channel video-sound projection panorama with Art Nouveau screen
Dimensions: variable
First exhibited: Foundation pour l’architecture, Brussels 1992
