SOLEIL BLANC

Soleil Blanc is a vision of remnants. Before the second millennium, colour existed, shades we do not know. The sun, year after year, eventually discoloured the entire landscape.

Entering through the window, light burned the space. Sea water, in turn, randomly moved, rearranged the interior scenes. The room’s textiles and furniture blended with organic and mineral forms; corals, sea sponges. Stacked books stuck together, agglomerated.

The crockery, like in a shipwreck, was covered with sediment, forming unstable and shattered piles. The room has become the excavation site, the archaeological imprint of a way of life and culture we can hardly recognize. The functions of the objects and their period are no longer legible. The plastic or stone lines merge with the curve of fossils.

The image is the one that might come after us, that of a limestone future in the blazing south, in the grazing, glaring light.
