La boîte rouge

La boîte rouge montée sur un support d’acier et la chaise fluorescente éclairée par des black lights sont reliés électriquement. Des commandes électriques installées sur la chaise activent un système sonore ainsi que deux projecteurs diapositives. La projection est fragmentée par des miroirs fixés sur la boîte. D’autres commandes, installées sous la boîte activent des composantes lumineuses installées dans un périscope qui peut être tiré hors de la boîte. La projection de diapositives ambrées est composée de close-ups d◊images recueillies dans les journaux. La bande sonore consiste en un collage de percussions et de 30 différents proverbes français

“There is the same difference between a pain that someone tells me about and a pain that I feel as there is between the red that I see and the being red of this red leather box. Being red is for it what hurting is for me. Just as there is an I-John Doe, there is also an I-red, an I-water, and an I-star. Everything, from a point of view within itself, is an I.”
José Ortega Y Gasset

The Aleph-Cube is an image constituting many images, the sum of which is, in fact, one single and original vision. Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It also signifies, in a system developed by Cantor, a German philosopher and mathematician, the concept of infinity, where each part of the whole is greater than the whole itself.

The Aleph-Cube is an object, an original piece which groups within itself other objects (modules).  Each module contains its very own points of reference with respect to time and space, reflected in the spatial disposition of matter, color, and texture. The modules are unique entities linked to other modules, either by a particular code ofesthetics or by the interaction they may suggest individually with respect to the whole.

The possibility of this interaction, however, is dependent on the very structure of the cube, that is to say, it relies on the facts that each module constitutes within itself a precise moment, chosen and constructed and there by self sufficient.  In addition, the idea of rhythm or the notion of time give the Aleph-Cube a certain poetic reality, in that the very grouping of the 24 modules in one single presence, one single structure, unified by a continuous circular motion enables us to experience, at any given time, a multiplicity of moments which, in fact, would be isolated from one another.  The movement which the the Aleph-Cube generates has, as a starting point, a confluence of various data (spatial disposition of matter, color, texture),whereas the end result reflects the expression of a global vision which, nevertheless, remains inseparable from its components.   DD 1986
