jusqu'à l'effacement des mots, les mots temps

until the words disappear, timely words

timely words, France 2005/6

Words inscribed on 1x1m steel plaques left to collect rust with the vagaries of time. Each word is itself subject to an oxidation process that started after its plaque began to rust. The two processes continue and may merge at some point. Visitors follow the process until the words disappear. This experimental installation features 10 triptychs with different oxidation/rusting times.
