Diagramme n° 070412-080412 "Papier calque"


Je suis dans un magasin de fournitures de
beaux-arts. Je cherche du papier, du papier
calque. Je ne sais pas lequel choisir et demande
toutes sortes de références à la vendeuse. Je
finis par en acheter de plusieurs sortes.

Une fois sorti du magasin je me retrouve dans une
école primaire désertée. Je sors une feuille
transparente et la tiens à bout de bras devant
moi. C’est en fait une caméra, une surface
photosensible à travers laquelle je regarde et
filme en même temps la cour, les salles.
J’effectue des mouvements très lents et flottants,
tout en regardant à travers la feuille.
Au détour d'un couloir je découvre des photos de
classes punaisées au mur. Je suis présent sur
plusieurs d'entre elles, je dois avoir autour de
5 ou 6 ans.

Je comprends alors que la feuille de calque est
ce qui permet de filmer mon passé.

4,6 milliards d’années sont matérialisées par une ligne de 4,6 mètres.

Une fois ce rapport d’échelle installé, il en découle qu’une année est égale à un nanomètre.  On peut aussi en déduire qu’il y a un milliard de nanomètre dans un mètre.

Taking up the rules used in the building of Micronesian stick charts, Carte mémoire (Memory Card/Map) offers a primitive and personnal cartography of the city of Montreal. Built on an oversimplified pattern, with no respect of distance, it sets up a support to the memorization of space and it flows, representing the remembered spots as islands of an intimate achipelago.

Diagramme n°071214-081214"Mont Viso"

Je marche sur un sentier de montagne avec un ami.
Notre objectif est d'atteindre le sommet du Mont Viso.

Au bout d'un moment nous arrivons enfin à la minuscule plate-forme qui constitue le sommet.
Nous nous reposons un instant pour profiter du panorama.

En voulant m'asseoir je fais basculer une grosse roche qui tombe sur le sol et se brise
immédiatement en deux, presque en son milieu.
Je me rends alors compte que sur une des deux faces mise à nu est inscrit quelque chose; un mot est gravé dans la pierre.

Je me demande comment ce mot a bien pu être gravé à l'intérieur de la roche.

Je m'approche pour pouvoir le déchiffrer, je n'arrive pas à le lire.

Inverted Sates series have been created thanks to elevation data files and show monochromatic landscapes, rivers and mountains from the United States territory. Unless here after changing the light direction and so relief shading, the artist created an inverted landscape. Valleys became crests and mountains became depressions. So instead of offering the classic bird-eye view these maps gives us an exclusive view from underneath.

As a between-two surface, an uncertain line of contact, Inframince (Mont-Blanc) is a white stele topped by a transparent and luminescent block of resin. That subtle glow underline the thin opaque membrane which seems to divide the block in two, and draws an uneven relief, miniature size. This tiny thickness materializes, inside the block, the impalpable limit between sky and mountain.

Cette idée de lente transformation de la matière osseuse en minéral est reprise ici par le façonnage d’une opale blanche en forme de dent humaine, comme le résidu d’un squelette fictif ou la création d’un fossile du futur.

While the strip remained an object of fascination for mathematicians throughout the 19th century, it was quickly taken up by some very influential thinkers in the human and social sciences. Lacanian psychoanalysis, for instance, uses the Möbius strip as a spatialization model for the work of the unconscious.
As for formal dimensions of Discrit’s video, they refer to a series of drawings and woodcuts produced by M.C. Escher in the early 1960s depicting nine red ants crawling along a Möbius strip, usually placed vertically.?Following a precise contortion, the Möbius strip—which becomes a felt space in the video— reveals the cyclical relationship between the physical elaboration of a mathematical concept, its reuse in the social sciences, its potential artistic representations, and the experience it can afford as a physical phenomenon.

Inverted Sates series have been created thanks to elevation data files and show monochromatic landscapes, rivers and mountains from the United States territory. Unless here after changing the light direction and so relief shading, the artist created an inverted landscape. Valleys became crests and mountains became depressions. So instead of offering the classic bird-eye view these maps gives us an exclusive view from underneath.

Cette œuvre prend comme point de départ des données d'élévation, c'est-à-dire des relevés de terrains, des relevés topographiques... L'image est traitée par des variations de couleurs assez fines, en fonction de l'altitude (les couleurs varient tous les 30 cm d'élévation).  Cette image montre une zone du grand Canyon dont la particularité est la grande variété des couches de roches et des reliefs. L’image ainsi obtenue créée une sorte de palimpseste de volutes de tous les reliefs du Grand Canyon sur quelques milliers d’années.

A young man emerges from a tunnel. His running is punctuated by his voice, he is talking to himself. The city he is running through seems to be deserted. It forms behind him a luminous and ghostly background. His monologue starts rather curiously; it is about toys, primary school… What he is talking about, as his running continues, is the story of his life. A life we do not know at first whether it is only fantasized or really true. Through this narration in the first person, he unfolded with each new stride, the story of his life.

Geography, as an attempt to "describe the world" is, for Julien Discrit, French visual artist, an important source of reflection. His works evoke spaces both physical and imaginary, and try to install a dialectical tension between the visible and what is hidden. The experience of time, through the path and the story is also essential in his practice that extends from installation to performance, from photography to video.
