Médiathèque de La Côte-Saint-André
Presentation
Reliquien at the Médiathèque de la Côte-Saint-André after a two-month exhibition at Galerie Tanit, Munich. The space is in a beautiful darkness. The atmosphere is soft and a feeling of contemplation immerses the visitor. Black and white engravings are hung or placed on the walls all around the central space in which seven columns are scattered. Each column acts as pedestals on which is placed a plexiglass box containing an object sculpted with various materials, evoking the relic of an imaginary thousand-year-old instrument. Each of these relics is illuminated in a fascinating way. Each instrument diffuses its own sound, musical fragments thus fill the space revealing the strange polyphony of these engravings or archaic scores.
