Time Passing I

Slides installation / spatialized soundtrack

Coproduction : Le Fresnoy ; Le Louvre

 

During four hours, a series of slides has been regularly taken, framing the Northern facade of the Cour Carrée of the Louvre.

Two slides projectors project, fading in turn. As the slides turn, the shadows moves gradually on the fixed facade. The visitors to the courtyard appear and disappear in the images.

The public passing through the Cour Carrée have been recorded with a 3D sound recorder; they give a volumetric sense of the site.

The sound is broadcast by four speakers placed around the screen. The sound is spatialized, the visitor can follow the sound of a bicycle ring or a bird call by walking around the screen.

The spectator's shadow can be caught by the projector's beam and be projected into the courtyard.
