CCA
Project Gallery presented a new work by Michel François
(born in 1956), who now lives and works in Brussels.
Déjà vu is a new installation Michel François
worked on during his stay at CCA Kitakyushu. François' intention
is to propose the same room twice to be visited - each one being
the mirror of the other, in a sort of simultaneous circular relation
where nobody knows which is the model to be reflected by the other.
A kind of mise en abîme is put in perspective by different
systems of mimetism.
The physical presence of the visitors in this endless circle is active
and makes the relation between reality and fiction (or representation)
even more complex. All together the construction of the room with
the presence of the visitors and the system to memorize it create
a sort of mental object which can be effective in a psychological
level.
This mixed media installation is one of the researches François
is doing in the field of perception and hallucination. What happen
in our brain when someone has the feeling to live or to see something
he has already lived or seen before?
Michel François stayed at CCA Kitakyushu as Professor of Research
Program during a month of September.
