The shadow of a Star #part 1 Zaha Museum 2014
The story begins with a meteorite that crashed into the gallery. She ran aground on one of the observation stations. At first sight, it is bright, but very slowly the light flickers, decreases, by approaching it we can even hear its last moments of life, its last flicker.
This work situated between lights and shadows, a sculptural dimension by the observatory stations, and a surreal dimension. Oscillating between the familiar and the imaginary, the artist combines ready-made and forgotten crafts in sophisticated installations that provoke, amuse and surprise the spectator. Through simple tools and a complex staging yet mastered, the exhibition wants to offer the viewer an understanding of what surrounds him. This research will play investing the microscopic into the macroscopic and vice versa. Elodie Dornand will challenge the universe to reduce it until it fits the exhibition space.
