Dichotomie

Opening on Thursday February 21st, 2013, at 5 pm.
« Moi, c'est-à-dire la machine, je suis la machine qui vous montre le monde comme elle seule peut le voir. » Manifeste du cine-œil, Dziga Vertov, 1923 For the final opening of his site-specific residency at LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE, French artist Adelin Schweitzer presents two pieces that take on the notion of dichotomy and explore its possible layouts : from perceptive and spatio-temporal duplication to the technical duplication of stereoscopic images. Two projected video sequences, archives from artist’s performative wanderings, analyze the idea of double image, double perception and a performative « has been » of the artist that reappears into the « here and now » through the sensitive body of the viewer. It is exactly by the means of his/her entire physical being that the viewer experiences the pieces, captivating him/her with their visual and sound rythmics and hollowing out new spaces inside the gallery. Even if it is the artist who generates the actual strolling, it is the viewer’s body that is being pulled along, stretched, shrinked, vertiginous. Throughout the use of the latest technologies which produce an unsettling merge between the image and the physical reality, the observer slides into an universe where bodily conscience becomes mitotic and oscillates between two «here and now », each one as real as the other.
