Nautilus room / Le son

What says the Augurus ?

Le son qui accompagne l’installation est composé de très courts fragments de textes comme « Stories and texts for nothing » de Beckett, lus par Read by Jack MacGowan.1

“I weep without interruption. It's an unbroken flow of words and tears. With no pause for reflection. But I speak softer, every year a little softer. Perhaps. Slower too, every year a little slower. Perhaps. it is hard for me to judge. If so the pauses would be longer, between the words, the sentences, the syllables, the tears, I confuse them, the words and tears, my words are my tears, my eyes my mouth.”

Il est délibérément sombre.

On entend aussi des bruits indistincts, des pas , des souffles, des échos confus, des chuchotements et la voix de Jean-Louis Trintignant. Il lit soit les titres de mes peintures,( On entendait des bruits venus de l’autre monde... ) soit les titres d’entrées de mon blog : Ne souriez pas , Ouvrez les yeux/ fermez les yeux... On entend également des passages brefs du film « Un chevalier couvert de cendres « , des voix synthétiques ( I don’t want to die/ I am afraid ), Lawrence Olivier Dans Hamlet « To sleep, to die, no more... » et du silence.
