Les années-
lumière

2000

These functional-looking little illuminated cases the size of wall-mounted heating units can be installed anywhere, such as to mix with building interiors… and to mix up the spectator a little. They are meant to be schematic representations of time passing, metaphors of our lives. The three different plays of light behind the calendrical surface each symbolize an aspect of life in its relation to time: 1) frantic speed, time fleeting, and fleeing; 2) a regular, well-timed rhythm, like a heartbeat; and 3) light that sputters, vacillates, and falters.
