Aquarium, stone, sand, livestock, lighting

Each of the Aquarium projects is a heterogeneous collection of subjects within a particular environment. The subjects are simultaneously real living entities and characters linked to a fictional background or archetype. They inhabit a constructed situation that takes the form of a tale.

RSI, un bout de réel, 2006 (on the ceiling)

The work is based on a drawing by the French psychonanalyst and theoretician Jacques Lacan. The original sketch depicts the interrelation of the Real, Symbolic and Imaginary (thus the title "RSI"), concepts developed by Lacan. It evokes an absent body of work since, like Lacan's drawing, it simply shows several loosely intersecting circles, in stark contrast to the complex and voluminous literature that exists attempting to explain the psychonalytic model.

The work was conceived for a group of fifteen actors who wandered around in the abandoned museum and were exposed arbitrarily to different mind-altering influences (sleeping pills, hypnosis sessions, etc.). The situations were presented and interpreted by persons wearing luminescent masks, who also had the power to intervene in the action, taking an extra-diegetic role in these proceedings.
