Performance Installation October 30th 2006
Isabelle mentioned Sylvie Fleury’s shopping bags. Without really understanding, I propose the creation of a self-installing device, to leave in museums.
It has the appearance of a bag that one carelessly forgets in an interesting room of a great museum. As a time bomb, a clock programmes the opening of the bag and it blows itself up in a structure that spreads out as an artwork taking part of the permanent exhibition. The wrapping unfolds; the basis contains a battery and a compressor. The cartel is stitched onto the artwork, mentioning: Blown-up, date, author.
In the case Blown-up was destructed by security services, several more items of the work and variants would of been anticipated.
