Echoing the formes brèves, autres, 25, FRAC Lorraine invites two young artists to produce a graphic artwork rooted in words.
Fabriquer des ruines… [Building Ruins…] The title of the textual installation created by the artists seems to be an oxymoron. “Building ruins” through a verbal explosion of meaning, a break-up of sentences in space that produces debris as material for reconstruction. Composed based on anagrams of the letters of the title, a vast typographical design overtakes the walls. It engenders fragments of phrases, produces outbursts of meaning… These fragments also become a pre-text (or a foretext) of writing of theoretical or fictional forms. Left at the disposal of the visitors, these reconstructions, investigations, divagations, and other textual visions may be taken away in order to be, perhaps in turn, dissected, decomposed, or even reinvented. The cycle continues… Isn’t this a question of reconstruction from a field of ruins… ?
