a show at rua Madalena Project, a new platform for art and architecture, Lisbon.

With her installation for Rua Madalena Project, Manon Bellet calls to
our attention that all borders are accidental. In a topographical
setting for spatial and temporal projections, each point within a secure
space becomes apparent just as an inventory of its environment, which
repeats itself. The various foldings of »La chambre froissée» operate as
a screen for a room transforming itself as such, an interplay between
the visible and the invisible.

about the Video: I lost you again
The words “I lost you again” are cut out of a white sheet of paper. This is fixed on a table in the artist’s studio, so that the sunlight can shine though and project the letter onto the table.
This scenario was recorded for an entire hour, so that the sunlight is shifting a little bit. By means of the projected transformation, the interplay of shadow and light is boosted and more distinguishable: as soon as the letters emerge at the wall, it vanishes from the paper – and vice versa. In this tilting moment of appearance and disappearance the volatility and ungraspability of time is demonstrated.
The installation also plays with the architecture of the room so that we seem to find another level between light, shadow and concrete wall.
