(english)
le sens du progrès (der Sinn des Fortschritts)
Installation, Stereophotos, Videos
Virginie CHOCHOYs Arbeiten erzeugen imaginäre Räume, die den
Betrachter an gegenwärtige, vergangene, reale oder fiktive Orte bringen.
Mittels Rekonstitution, Umstellung und Interpretation von Grundrissen,
Photographien, Zeichnungen und Installationen, in denen sich reale Elemente
(topographisch, historisch, …) und fiktive Elemente (subjektiv, affektiv,
…) miteinander konfrontieren, wird eine Traumwelt erzeugt in der
sich Nostalgie, Spiel, Kritik und Absurdität vermischen. Eine zentrale
Rolle spielt dabei die historische Wiederholung des so genannten Fortschritts
und seine absurdeVerknüpfung zu Gefahr und Sicherheitsbedürfnis.
Für ihre Präsentation in der Oberwelt verwandelt sie in einer
Installation, die Galerie in eine Agentur für hypothetisches Reisen.
Weiterhin werden Videoarbeiten gezeigt, die im Spiel mit Zeit und Raum
existenzialistische Szenarien komisch aufarbeiten.
Virginie CHOCHOY studierte Kunst in Dunkerque und Marseille. Sie lebt
und arbeitet in Marseille.

LE
SENS DU PROGRÈS
Virginie Chochoy
le sens du progrès (the meaning of progress)
installation, stereo photographs, videos
In her works Virginie CHOCHOY creates imaginary spaces that transport the viewer to present or past, real or fictitious places. By reconstructing, adapting and interpreting ground plans, photographs, drawings and installations in which real elements (topographical, historical, …) are juxtaposed against fictitious elements (subjective, affective, …) a dream world which combines nostalgia, game, critique and absurdity is created. A central theme in the works is the historical repetition of so-called progress and its absurd connection to danger and the need for security.
For her presentation at Oberwelt the artist will transform the gallery into an agency for hypothetical travel. She will also show video works, which, in their play with time and space, provide a strange interpretation of existential scenarios.
Virginie CHOCHOY studied art in Dunkirk and Marseille. She lives and works in Marseille.
28th November - 15th December
Opening hours: Monday 9.30pm till midnight or by appointment
