This piece was made in my second year, in the Aix-en-Provence School of Art (Ecole d'Art d'Aix-en-Provence). It's a group work (we were six students).

The work is about time perception. Here, sound and image have two different rhythms. The metronome, symbol of rhythm regularity, is here trapped inside a silent room in a large scale reproduction of itself. The sound of the real metronome is captured by a microphone, treated by a Pure Data patch (my part of the work with help from François Parra) that breaks the rhythm. Being visible, the real metronome gives a visual rhythm. The large scale of the reproduction reinforces the rhythm break produced by the sound.

The piece was presented during an academy presentation and in a Festival organized by Aix-en-Provence city hall, Festival C'est Sud. In the same festival, Olivier Grossetête presented a performative installation where people get together to build a reproduction of a city building (for the festival he decided to build the Madeleine Church of Aix-en-Provence). I participated on the construction as a volunteer to help Olivier Grossetête.
