Alice Guittard, Spinning at the gondola, 2019
The film “Filature à la gondole” proposes an investigation which is at the same time a mental introspection mixed with an architectural observation which brings us clues as we drift along. The central character, investigator of nothingness, drifts on a piano melody oscillating between murmur and provocation, soliloquy and confidence, dialogical plurality of the figures of the drama on the silence of the image which passes.
By this drift, one cannot obtain a stable image of the movement, the image can never take, always rejecting the formation of the last possible image: that of “the one who tries different directions before finding his definitive way”; this joins the subject of the unknown which has never ceased to miss us, there is no last possible image, and it is thus the finality of this film.
Preferring to tangible results imaginary solutions and to the roads all traced their crossroads, Alice Guittard analyzes its relation to time, to the viewer and to the collective memory. His work always has a literary reference as a starting point. It questions the notion of exhibition by revealing the underbelly of creation and production. For her, exhibition rhymes with expedition. Her desire to push back the limits of the exhibition by inventing each time another format, another language is for her a way to make surprising analogies in the observer.
It is through editions, photographs, videos, sculptures andexperimentsthatAlice Guittard driftsfrom story to story, revealing in bits and pieces the elements that constitute her research. In his installations, the visitor becomes an actor in a reality that is framed but not limited. Driftingin space, he becomes the reciter ofascenario to come. Moreover, his installations are never the culmination of a project, but simply a stage. The projects are prolonged, told, shared, stopped and then resumed.

Portable Monoxyl (2019)
Smaller version of the monolith, it contains attached straps, so that it can be carried on the back, and dropped anywhere in nature to create apparitions.
At the crossroads between Stanley Kubrick, Obelix’s menhir, a christic way of the cross, and a modernist performative sculpture, the Portable Monoxyle takes advantage of these references to impose itself as a must.
The two monoliths were created during the summer of 2019 at the Utopia residency in Ponte-Leccia, Corsica.

F.E.U., 2019
April 2019. The artists Arnaud Biais, Marc Chevalier and Agathe Wiesner spend a week in a heap of waste. They sculpt. Giants emerge: a Sputnik, a hamster wheel, a house of cards. Then they become fireworkers, it’s time for the firing. France Gayraud and Agathe Wiesner film the blaze and Juliette Liautaud distills her music above the flames.
Utopia residency at Les Charpentiers de la Corse, April 2019.
