SUBMARINE BASE - BORDEAUX, FRANCE
Man invents an unreality for himself in order to survive the real.
The two authors replied to the Submarine Base’s invitation by giving meaning to this place of memory, the primary function of which has been changed. They propose a journey through a selection of their works and projects in which the real and the unreal confront one another at every step. The issue at hand is our perception of a society, of a photograph, of the meaning of a word. They address this question from a poetic point of view by calling upon childhood, the past, emotion, and memory, upon everything that fashions the reality of the present. They also address it from an essentially political perspective by evoking the misappropriation of the real, the voluntary transposition of iconography, and the transformation of language and sound.
