The Wind Men Are Coming  | Irene Bindi & Aston Coles

Launch 7pm, Friday 20^th April 2012  | Artist Talk/Performance 2pm, Saturday 21^st April 2012

In the swamp of work and time, objects shift and bend to reflect images of each other and themselves. A brother and sister listen indoors as the wind brings a menace to their town. But where is Harvester?  To see anything, to find anything, they look at it in shadow, or in the mirror.  Shadows and reflections are that window into the other world in which things are not passive but are actively engaging with each other, pointing to one another, and exerting unseen forces upon us. The Cock Nightjar takes his own photograph by passing through the light beam of an automatic trigger release.  What we see is the construction we have built around him, a mirror we have built for the photography of birds.

Vernissage à 19 h, vendredi le 20 avril 2012  | Causerie d’artistes/Performance 14 h, samedi le 21 avril 2012

Dans le marais du travail et du temps, les objets se décalent et se tordent, créant des images qui se reflètent les unes dans les autres. De l’intérieur, un frère et une sœur écoutent le vent qui menace leur ville. Mais où est le Moissonneur? Afin de voir quelque chose ou de trouver quelque chose, ils regardent dans l’ombre, ou dans le miroir. Les ombres et les reflets sont une fenêtre qui donne sur un autre monde où les choses ne sont pas passives mais sont engagées activement l’une avec l’autre, se pointent du doigt, et exercent des forces invisibles sur nous. L’Engoulevent mâle prend sa propre photo en passant à travers un rayon de lumière qui déclenche l’obturateur  automatiquement. Ce que nous voyons est la construction que nous avons bâti autour de lui, un miroir que nous avons fabriqué pour photographier les oiseaux.
