THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE

TERRESTRE 2023 - Creation at Cndc - Angers

In addition to examining the cinematographic framing of a body on the scale of the Eurasian conti-nent, TERRESTRE questions the notion of territory as an expanse of land bounded by borders, to which a group of men deny access to their fellow human beings. How did we humans come to consider that the terrestrial globe is no longer a land on which we can move freely, but a space where political stakes push countries to fight for a “piece of land”? TERRESTRE is a quadrifrontal installation project comprising 4 screens measuring 2.5 m by 1.4 m. The installation is oriented according to the 4 cardinal points: North, South, East, West, and determines the direction of movement of spectators invited to follow a walker tirelessly circling the Earth.
