Trouble contains only deceptive and fleeting aquatic images. Immersed in a dark, liquid environment, the viewer is confronted with a set of visuals whose subjects have been drowned, flooded and transformed. They come from our real natural environment but are then changed by a liquid that varies from calm to turbulent under the action of bubbles of air and drops. These spherical forms, which are at once full and empty, light and heavy, produce trompe-l’oeil effects which evoke at once flight and depth, oxygen and drowning.
The installation thus tries to bring about an unusual sensation of submersion, which is felt once one is immersed. Protective, troubling and timeless, it confronts the visitor with the complexity of their own thoughts and memories through a mass of suspect elements.
