View of the exhibitionOur Troubles, © CAC de Sète 2002 

"The piece, entitled "projection", produced for Sète, is a world map on the ground, made up of artificial blood, the one used in cinema. The world map already constitutes in itself a deformation of the world, resulting from different cartographic projections, a painting of history equivalent to the writing of the scribes: accounts of the flows of goods and the networked landscape built to make exploitable the colonial and commercial expansion of the empire.Another reading of "projection", a point of view in height from where the world map becomes a mirror. The viewer can then see its effect in the blood-red glaze turning to black under the spotlights of the exhibition device. Immersion: the time of the exposure, the process will be implemented, the image will move." Text excerpt from Lise Guéhenneux for the exhibition bookletOur TroublesCAC  Sète 2002
