C’étaient toujours des murs autour de moi, unis, lisses, sombres
C’étaient toujours des murs et le silence (pause)
Salons vides, escaliers, tableaux de couleurs sombres, mirroirs
Fausses colonnes, fausses portes, fausses issues
…Et le parc comme tout le reste était désert (silence)

Yet, they were those walls surrounding me,
united, smooth, dark-coloured
Yet, they were those walls and the silence (pause)
Empty galleries, stairs, paintings in dark colours, mirrors

False doors, false columns, false outputs

…And the gardens as anything else, were deserted (silence)

Et le parc comme tout le reste, était désert …(And the gardens as anything else were deserted…)

In 2011, I got nominated to Swiss Art Award, in Basel, Switzerland. I made an installation especially for the show entitled: Et le parc comme tout le reste était désert…The installation consists of; three paintings hung on walls painted in a grey-black colour and two sculptures, a text in french (a new interpretation of what could be a ”mental monologue taken from the movie Last Year in Marienbad), and a fourth painting shown against white walls. The title is also taken from the same movie Last Year in Marienbad. The text is in original language; french. It has been remade to fit (and refer to) the other works in the installation.
