3km of Bamboo, Black lamp
4 X 5 X 5,5 m
When the visitor penetrates the room, he confronts a black silhouette in the shape of a triangle traced against a blue background (fig. 1). This could be an image from a painting of a mountain at dusk. As one approaches, one discovers that this mountain is made up of bamboo canes tied together vertically. The silhouette appears like a three dimensional mass as his vision adapts to the low ambient light in the room, (fig. 2).
I defined the size of the mass of bamboo so that the visitor cannot perceive it with a single glance. There will never be enough room to step back and observe it at a distance (except upon entering the room, the point where we see the image in fig. 1). The image of the mountain must therefore be fragmented and reconstituted by each person in their own way. It will be born and reborn as many times as the visitor can remember it.
