Installation ouverte au public
Au StudiÕ de DAÏMÕN, 80, rue Hanson
Du 26 au 29 août et du 2 au 4 septembre 2009
De 12h à 17h
L'installation interactive de Louis Cummins, réalisée à DAÏMÕN au
cours de la dernière année, vise à reconstituer, dans le parcours d'un
espace physique et matériel, l'espace/temps de l'imaginaire associatif
du rêve. La mise en place de l'ensemble des composantes de
l'installation vise à recréer une séquence onirique, avec son climat
particulier, ses transitions brusques, ses associations surprenantes,
et les effets de dessaisissement qu'expérimente le rêveur.
L'installation cherche à reconstituer un état d'angoisse et une
sensation d'éclatement. a perfect end of summer; a poetry reading at the carleton tavern
