In the fifth movement of “Les Escenes”, some works extend across the floor. Others consider the symbolic terrain on which we live. All of them invite us to complete a journey, alternating sensitive memory and the ability to anticipate. This time we have to look down. The works are realistic in the meaning given to this word in Ben Lerner’s verses: “If you have to look up it’s religious. / If you have to look down it’s realistic.” Down, like the researcher or the gold prospector, but also the scrap collector and the beggar. With all of these people, to find the structures, or their remains, and the silenced evidence of poverty – or the second life of recycling: of objects, of ideas, of worldviews.
