Petite scène de la révolte routinière, 2009
(Small scene of the routine revolt)
Installation view at CRAC Alsace, France

Behind a wall on wheels setup as a stage, lives a community of ants, flowing, building their habitat, carrying food. Sometimes they come across the small bridge in front of the wall where the viewer can watch them work, sometimes they continue to work in the anthill, in their spacious homes located behind the wall. If the viewer is curious, he can catch a glimpse of the hidden anthill on both sides of the cyma. Microphones are attached to the bridge and on the large block of soil that serves as a nest (positioned behind the wall). The soundtrack consists essentially of thousand of ant steps, but also noise factory, assembly line work, contruction and tumbling.
