Until Then (MAC VAL), 2020
Performance, Line sitter Elvin Wiliams @elvin1969 (Same Old Line Dudes @sold_inc )
En collaboration avec Yves De Locht, médecin généraliste (Bruxelles)
En 2012, les Same Old Line Dudes inventent un nouveau métier, Line sitter. Ils attendent sur les trottoirs new-yorkais pour les impatients désirant le nouvel Iphone ou le premier rang d’une pièce de théâtre sans le désagrément d’une file d’attente.
Hiver 2020, en Belgique, une personne a notifié à plusieurs reprises aux médecins sa volonté de ne plus vivre afin d’abréger sa douleur.
A l’heure exacte de sa mort, le 16 mars à 12h00, Elvin Williams a quitté le @macval.musee , laissant sa chaise vide.

« The Most Beautiful Attempt », 2012 _ A young boy crouching in a dark room tries to keep lines of salt that have been formed on the ground, in the daylight that is coming through the window. A race against time therefore takes place regulated by the continual movement of the sun around the room. The boy methodically repeats the same laborious gestures with the help of a ruler, trying to keep these lines within the rays of light and to keep them out of the shade…
A literal and laborious measurement of the passage of time. An artisanal and manual version of the archaic gnomon. Cosmic time versus labour time. An accelerated initiation to a sublime parable about the vanity of our actions.

« Le Miroir de Claude », 2019-2020
Stainless steel table for hard drugs consumer, black mirror (c. 1870)
The ‘black mirror’, also known as a ‘Claude glass’, was a small portable mirror with a slightly convex surface, tinted with lampblack. It was a vital accessory for naturalist painters in the 18th century, as its contrasting reflection simplified landscapes and facilitated composition. To use it, painters had to take up a position that was new for the time: looking at nature by turning their back on it. __ (FR)
Table de consommation de drogues dures, miroir noir (vers 1870)
Le miroir noir, dit aussi « miroir de Claude le Lorrain », est un petit miroir portatif à la surface légèrement convexe, teintée au noir de fumée. Accessoire indispensable aux peintres naturalistes du XVIIIe siècle, son reflet contrasté simplifie les paysages et facilite le cadrage. Il impose aux artistes une position inédite pour l’époque : regarder la nature en lui tournant le dos.

QUARANTINE « Cosmographia (Île de Tatihou) », 2015
Located off the coast in Normandy, the Island of Tatihou was used mainly as a military base. It served as a jail for prisoners of war but also as a lazaretto for quarantining crews and merchandise from ports where the plague, or some other disease, was rife.
In 2015, we traced on paper it’s outline on a scale of 1:1, centimeter by centimeter. Everyday, working on site, we posted the contours to the person who commissioned the work.
The stainless steel shelf archiving the island was designed by @francois_bauchet

« The Path of Oum Hani », 2020. This neon present the fate line nestled in the palm of a homeless woman we met at -La Halte des Femmes de l’Hotel de Ville de Paris-. Now supple and organic, diverted from its usual minimalism, the neon demonstrates the identity of the model through these isolated and monumental lines. Displayed like an ex-voto, it appears to defy a mapped out destiny and attempt to avert the course of thing. Commissioned by @thanksfor.nothing and @paris_maville. Gift to @lafabriquedelasolidarite.

Scénographie by @brognonrollin de la sublime pièce COMPARUTION IMMÉDIATE II. UNE LOTERIE NATIONALE ? Du 8 janvier au 2 février au théâtre @rondpointparis _ De Dominique Simonnot, mise en scène : Michel Didym, collaboration artistique et interprétation : Bruno Ricci ___ En « comparutions immédiates », les prévenus ont un quart d’heure pour être jugés, éviter la détention ou la préventive. Soit le suspect est relâché, soit il intègre l’enfer carcéral. À tort ou à raison, vite fait bien fait. Manque de moyens, lourdeurs administratives, dérives et absurdités. Succès de la saison 2017-2018, le premier volet de Comparution immédiate mettait en scène les paroles d’hommes et de femmes perdus devant un tribunal correctionnel.
Autres cas, autres affaires aujourd’hui… Le comédien Bruno Ricci entre en scène avec un nouveau matériel documentaire, propos recueillis lors d’autres audiences de différents tribunaux. L’acteur se fait tour à tour prévenu ou président, psychotique, avocat en colère, greffière ou expert incompétent. C’est la justice ordinaire qu’il donne à voir et entendre. @theatre.manufacture (C) Eric Dydim
« Hic Sunt Dracones », 2016 ___ Hic Sunt Dracones (or Here be Dragons) means dangerous or unexplored territories, in imitation of a medieval practice of putting illustrations of dragons, sea monsters and other mythological creatures on uncharted areas of maps where potential dangers were thought to exist. ___ FR: C’est un terme de cartographie médiévale utilisé pour désigner des territoires dangereux ou encore inconnus. Imprimé sur une flèche lancée en tout sens par un Sign Spinner dans une rue paisible de West Hollywood, Hic Sunt Dracones est un appel publicitaire à l'intranquilité comme norme de nos sociétés occidentales | @aarrowsignspinners | From July 4th to September 2nd @ledeltanamur #losangeles #signspinner #contemporaryart
The ladder is still there on monday December 2nd 2019. ______ Our work « Statu Quo Nunc, 2016 » is a contract between artists and collectors who bet together on the stability of the Statu Quo in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The ladder is the symbol of the Statu Quo. @frederic_net @charlottegounant @floredesbois @balconies__

Collection @macshornu : « Fate Will Tear us Apart (Christiane, Mike, Sebastien) », 2011-2012 __ Paradoxical self-portraits, these neon works present lines of destiny nestled in the palms of drug addicts. Now supple and organic, diverted from its usual minimalism, the neon demonstrates the identity of the model through these isolated and monumental lines. The broken and entwined lines nervously express a chaotic and jerky path. Anonymous tributes or hectic lives which have had their dignity restored by this sudden majesty. Displayed like ex-votos, they also appear to defy a mapped out destiny and attempt to avert the course of things.

LE GRAND VOYAGE, 2012 __ Stainless steel table for hard drugs consumer, 21 grams cow bezoar
The table for shooting up is a ‘specific object,’ the result of an impartial minimalist and non-judgmental design, dedicated to a transcended high. A cross between a trash altar and a blind dressing-table, it awaits those who like to explore depths, in search of a one-way trip. A bezoar, also called ‘bezoar stone,’ a rare and precious object, which stirred up 18th century scientific curiosity and fuelled the fantasies of alchemists, is put there. The bezoar acted as an antidote to poisons and insidious melancholy. Placed there like an offering, is it an amulet against the fatal dose or a present to complete the Great Trip? In any case left behind on the table is a little extra soul that we would lose at the time of death: 21 grams.
