Mon Amour (Désolé pour les carrelages)

Mon Amour (Désolé pour les carrelages) is a text linked to the renovation of my grandmother’s flat. It is a combination and a mix of observations linked to the transformation of the space, fragments of conversations, dreams, prayers or horoscopes. Each of these words have been uttered in the flat over the course of its history, be it before or during the renovation. The repetitive text questions the limit between occupying a space and haunting it.

Here, a shortened version of the text (80 slides) is projected onto a panel covered with a faux wood or faux marble sticker, regarding the context. The lighting, which turns the projection into a ghost, and the sound of the slide projector, subtly support the text.
