"
Réplique » is a machine for generating organic forms that move between
hypnotic ether and entropy. This sort of self generation looks like a
simulation of mechanistic models of perception or even an involution of
fluid menbranes, algorythmic filaria, liquid architecture or a genetic
exploration of architectural form. Or even, the nerves cells of a brain,
inchoate magma of form-matter, a biological transformation of
organisms. This formal and processual instability contrasts with the
static nature of the mechanical system, wich remains perfectly visible.

 The
perception of the work diffracts between the projection of light, its
recording system and its reflection on a surface. Between optical
phenomenon and cognitive field, the work exist in this interstice, this
elastic dimension where a vibratory field unfolds, wich is neither
representation nor immersion, but one of these « transforming
repetitions » dear to Roussel. The title of the work, « Réplique »,
again refers to the model. |
||
 The
Replica induces a repetition, the production of a life size model,
whereas here, were are confronted with a mass of folds, folds of
representation the model, an instrument of measure, has disintegrated
into, in order to explore the fluctuations of a pre-figurative world in
wich, the inflexion of the fold operates the connection between light
and shadow, the inside and the outside, and the iconic and the system."
