Chronos-Swimmer

Chronos-Swimmer examines the enigma of regeneration, experienced through emigration, in an unstable ecosystem where rules binding time and space are broken.

The installation divides into two permeable spaces: the objective area of the exhibition room and the virtual dimension that provides access to the holographic reservoir of memory.

In the first space, a film made in collaboration with Paraguayan director Raisa Aid is screened. Shot primarily in Asuncion from 2010-2015, it shows the manipulation of film material as a memory catalyst, referencing metaphysical rituals of indigenous Paraguayan peoples, the story of Capitan Pinturas—a hero of the Chaco war turned shaman—and research on energy outsourcing by physician Pyotr Kapitsa.

The film's original score, composed and performed by Jeanne Susin with musicians Myrtille Hetzel, Matthieu Camilleri and Timothée Quost, inspires movement across the threshold between dimensions for elements of all sorts, which materialize in the "boarding zone" of the second space where "composite" works are to be found, with ceramics functioning as "safety elements," accompanied by images and objects shot through by a yellow luminescence.
