Views from the exhibition Palimpseste/trace(s),

Atelier Alain Le Bras, Nantes, September 2013

       A place such as an exhibition hall is a space, even an empty one, full of physical traces (left in particular by the previous assemblies / disassemblies) but also of mental traces: so many memories, emotions, concepts still present and which can resurface.

       In this installation/interactive performance, it is the spectators who symbolically, and without being aware of it, reactivate them: their footprints serve as a revelation by revealing, by walking on them and leaving the dirt from the soles of their shoes, an inscription that was previously invisible.
