installation in the middle of a library space, Tours, France. Artists for Peace (l'Art pour la Paix.
This mobile sculpture was made as a reaction against Bush era politics in which the true complex nature of life was high-jacked by a simplified fantasy version of the world. One which portrayed the west as good and certain other country's as evil or at least their leaders. It is also inspired both by disco balls and by natural form. It is an outdoor or indoor disco event and the reflected sun light and wind turn the individual parts to the music of trees and bird song. We live in the wonderful age of electricity with which so much of our modern world is powered and entirely relient on but when the power is gone all we have left is nature. This installation is made in the spirit of peace, diversity (natures genuis and complexity) playfulness and conservation. It is built from a mixture of natural and modern material.
Cette sculpture mobile s'inspire à la fois des balles disco et de la forme naturelle. C'est un événement disco en plein air et la lumière du soleil réfléchie et le vent transforment les différentes parties en musique d'arbres et de chants d'oiseaux. Nous vivons dans l'ère merveilleuse de l'électricité avec laquelle une grande partie de notre monde moderne est alimentée et entièrement dépendante, mais quand le pouvoir est parti, tout ce qui nous reste est la nature. Cette installation est faite dans l'esprit de paix, de diversité (natures genuis et complexité), d'enjouement et de conservation. Il est construit à partir d'un mélange de matériaux naturels et modernes.
