Edition
Having
registered in a large programme of rehabilitation and of
requalification of the site in escheat, the presence of the artist
opens the way to a new occupation of soil. Gilles Bruni inaugurates a
respectful exploration of the places which settles on the understanding
of the intimate story of the site and leads to an energising plastic
proposal. Organised around geological, anthropological and
technical researches, the scattered prospecting of the artist, relieved
by associative, professional or amateur partners, allow him to federate
progressively a fleet of homogeneous interventions which will give form
to the work of art.
Two supplementary areas allow to arrest the
constituting resources of creative process: the environmental
installation itself and exhibition in The Carthusian monastery. This
movement, melted in a total process of recycling, cleans up and softens
the waste land Carbolux, traumatised in terms of ecology and of
collective memory. The indications of physical and moral detriment are
recorded in the exhibition of Porterie. To regenerate inside, the
waste land finds so the premises of a taken and confident, healthy
allocation; little just like the enchanting constellation produced by
the nocturnal blossoming of 150 solar lamps.
On the eve of the
équinoxe of autumn, this ultimate energy readjustment works as a
possible metaphor of resurgence, a kind of ignition of fires,
celebrated at festivities of The Carthusian monastery of the Ladies.
