SUPERNOVA
Audiovisual installation, 2011.
Supernova (Cassiopeia A) is an installation made out of smoke, light and sound. It portrays a supernova : the explosion of a star and the birth of matter, creating a burst of radiation that often outshines an entire galaxy. Caused by the gravitational collapse of a massive star, blowing the outer layers of the star, Cassiopeia A released such energy that it would have been seen in 1680 from Earth, one of the few to have been visible to The naked eye. This 'new star' has like the supernova seen by Tycho Brahe undermined the Aristotelian model of a constant universe. The continuous movement of sculpture underlines this relativity of the cosmos.
Video projection on smoke in a plexiglass box, 2,80 × 1,40 × 1,70 M, Duration : 12 min.
