Words appear, move surreptitiously through the space towards the viewers, distort and eventually disappear as quickly as they appeared from the void.
By questioning the notions of appearance/disappearance, Less is more can only be apprehended in an ephemeral way.
A minimalist sensory work that borrows this aphorism from L. Mies van der Rohe, it plays with our perception by borrowing a language of
the immaterial (light beams and smoke projection).
By seeking to make the invisible visible with the precision of a clock, this installation/performance illustrates the sentence of J.F. Lyotard: « Maintenant fait charnière entre pas encore et déjà plus » (which could be translated by :"The now is the hinge between the not yet and the already more").
