exhibition view Les Enfants du Sabbat 5, Contemporary Art Center Le Creux de l’Enfer, Thiers
Slides passes, the 7 pictures of a man on american landscapes appear, lost in the middle of empty slides that give light and reflect in the black glossy model. The word Land is placed on top of the hill, remembering the cinema and its emblematic landscape : Hollywood Hill (before its refurbishment, the whole sign was Hollywoodland). The landscape is laminated, manufactured, ficticious as the movie the tourist creates for himself. The stealthy story disappears, leaving an empty light on a deserted landscape, a reflecting nowhere.
