| Bertrand LAMARCHE, Sans Titre 2008 installation, amplifier, speakers, turntable, dub-plate, wire, edition of 3 exhibition view at ART BRUSSELS 2013 - Galerie Jérôme Poggi |
Sans Titre (Untitled) ,
2008, a piece produced for the exhibition, comprises an amplifier and
two loudspeakers, one of which is connected to a turntable by a thread
several metres long. On the turns a dub plate, a fragile unrecorded
acetate disc, with two drill holes. Althought microgrooved, the disc is
silent. The vibrations emitted at the loudspeaker’s surface jolt the
thread like an oscillogram. The turntable arm holds the thread in
uncertain equilibrium, its needle on the verge of jumping.

A
genuine tension – both mechanical and psychological – is created by the
humming atmosphere of a story in progress, played out in the space of
La Galerie. It is a latent hypothetical drama, signified in sound by the
allegory of the tempest : the viewer waits on tenterhooks. The infinite
to-and-fro, wich borrows the loop motif from music, imparts to the work
an undefined temporality. With great economy of means, Bertrand
Lamarche Manages once again to create an unsettling and even worrying
world, with a self-managed device that cleverly combines causes and
effect in mutual interaction, as in his work Réplique.
