Forms of resistance is an installation on the theme of resistance, and how it makes us waver between utopia and dystopia, from reality toward the ideal, on the cusp of coming transformations. The work is inspired by Derrida's ontology, which holds that there is a diffuse temporality which is not the past, but an absent present that can affect the future. 

For Le Nouveau Printemps, Pablo Valbuena has imagined a site-specific piece for the Monument to the Glory of the Resistance. Created in the 1970s, this unusual, underground memorial offers an itinerary that uses architecture, sound, projected light, geometry and sculpture to create a total work of art. Pablo's project reactivates the monument by revisiting the original idea behind resistance in the Second World War, and by exploring the issue of resistance in the present day, in its different forms. This installation will recreate human presence in a spectral fashion by sculpting the voice in the form of poetry through digital light and sound. It will also explore its performative and participatory dimensions by integrating readings that activate the voice live.

With the support of Monuments de Toulouse, Toulouse city hall.
