El pasado mes de septiembre hemos visitado Francia participando en la\u00a0Bienal Panorama<\/a>. La instalaci\u00f3n se ubic\u00f3 en un precioso lago en el Parcs des Iris et de l’Ermitage de Lormont<\/a>. cerca de Burdeos.<\/p>\n

La idea inicial trataba de recrear un mundo subacu\u00e1tico en el que figuras luminosas sal\u00edan y entraban del agua, sorprendiendo a los habitantes terrestres que transitaban por los alrededores. Una po\u00e9tica manera de revivir antiguas leyendas de seres misteriosos que habitan en los lagos, pero tambi\u00e9n revivir im\u00e1genes cinematogr\u00e1ficas, no tan id\u00edlicas, de cuerpos hundidos en circunstancias tr\u00e1gicas que luchaban por salir a la superficie.<\/p>\n

Esa era la idea original, y se iba a llamar Baignade interdite<\/a>. Pero, las caracter\u00edsticas del lago, emplazado en un asentamiento de rocas calc\u00e1rea que daba al agua un lechoso color blanco, no nos permit\u00eda adivinar qu\u00e9 estaba pasando bajo la superficie, a pesar de la luz que envolv\u00eda los cuerpos, por lo que tuvimos que cambiar la propuesta sobre la marcha para adaptarla las contexto real.<\/p>\n

As\u00ed pues improvisamos, algo bastante habitual en nuestro m\u00e9todo de trabajo, y vali\u00e9ndonos de parte del material comprado, concretamente de los guantes de l\u00e1tex, repensamos la propuesta, convirti\u00e9ndola en una nueva instalaci\u00f3n en la que seres de luz tratan de salir a flote o quiz\u00e1s se est\u00e9n definitivamente hundiendo (cada uno lo puede interpretar seg\u00fan su propia experiencia vital)… tambi\u00e9n la renombramos llam\u00e1ndola \u00bfSaliendo a flote?<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Utilizamos 1.400 guantes de l\u00e1tex que inflamos y llenamos de luz, uni\u00e9ndolos de 2 en 2 para dar vida a esos seres atrapados en el agua. Despu\u00e9s los dejamos libres por el lago, esperando que cada ser encontrara su espacio. Las bandadas de patos, habitantes naturales del lugar, y las peque\u00f1as corrientes, ayudaron a ponerlo todo en su lugar.<\/p>\n

El resto de material que no pudimos utilizar, pantalones y camisas blancas, lo repartimos el d\u00eda de la inauguraci\u00f3n don\u00e1ndolo de manera gratuita a todo el que quisiera vestirse de blanco esa noche.<\/p>\n

La instalaci\u00f3n permaneci\u00f3 en el lago varios d\u00edas y despu\u00e9s todo el material fue retirado y reciclado.<\/p>\n

Para llegar a materializar nuestra pieza, contamos con la ayuda inestimable de much\u00edsimos amigos, que nos acompa\u00f1aron durante todas las fases del proyecto, d\u00eda y noche, en el sentido literal de la palabra, ya que incluso vivimos con ellos, trabajando juntos con dedicaci\u00f3n completa, m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de lo que ser\u00eda imaginable y creando un incre\u00edble grupo, alrededor de nuestras luces.<\/p>\n

Queremos agradecer los cuidados y el cari\u00f1o recibido, especialmente a nuestras queridas anfitrionas, Marie Claude y Fabienne sin las cuales todo hubiera sido mucho m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil, a nuestros amigos, Helene, Fred, Christine, Marie-Do, Eric, los alumnos y profesores de los colegios de alrededor y los vecinos que se pasaban a echarnos una mano habitualmente. Por supuesto a la organizaci\u00f3n de la Bienal, Charlotte, Julie y a Richard, que nos han apoyado en todo momento adapt\u00e1ndose a los cambios de \u00faltima hora con total naturalidad. Gracias amigos.<\/p>\n

———————————<\/p>\n

Last September we visited France as part of the Bienal Panorama<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. The display was placed on a beautiful lake in Parcs des Iris et de l’Ermitage in Lormont<\/a><\/strong><\/span> near Bordeaux.<\/p>\n

The first idea was to recreate an underwater world where luminous figures came in and out of the water, taking passersby by surprise. A poetic way to pay tribute to old legends about mysterious lake dwellers but also to not so idyllic movie scenes of bodies that sank in tragic circumstances as they struggled to come out of the water.<\/p>\n

That was the original idea and it was to be called Baignade interdite<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. However, the lake’s characteristics, located over a bed of calcareous rocks, gave the water a milky color that didn’t allow us to see what happened underwater in spite of the light enveloping the bodies. So we had to change the display on the go to adapt it to its real context.<\/p>\n

Hence we had to improvise which is something quite common in our work method. So, helping ourselves with some of the already purchased material, especially the latex gloves, we thought the idea over and turned it into a new display where the beings of light would be trying to come afloat or would be sinking (depending on one’s life experience)… We also re-named it as \u00abComing Afloat?\u00bb<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We used 1,400 latex gloves we pumped with air and filled with light and then paired them to bring the bodies trapped in the water to life. We then released them on the lake expecting each being to find its own space. Duck flocks, endemic inhabitants and soft currents help putting everything into place.<\/p>\n

We weren’t able to use the remaining material, white pants and shirts, which we freely distributed on the opening day among whomever wanted to dress in white that night.<\/p>\n

The display stayed on the lake several days and then all the material was collected and recycled.<\/p>\n

Many friends offered their help to bring our piece to life. They went along with us throughout all the stages of the project, literally day and night, as we shared their lives and worked together with complete dedication. We formed an incredible group as we worked on the lights with unimaginable endeavor.<\/p>\n

We want to thank all the care and love we got, especially from our dear hostesses, Marie Claude and Fabienee. All this would have been much harder without them. Our friends Helene, Fred, Christine, Marie-Do, Eric, and the students and teachers from local schools and neighbors that regularly dropped by to lend a hand. We want to thank the Bienal Organization, of course, and Charlotte, Julie and Richard, who have supported us at all times adjusting themselves to last minute changes without a problem. Thank you so much, friends.<\/p>\n

The photos were taken by Lola Mart\u00ednez<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. The drawings for the original idea were created by Marta Menacho<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. We hope to be able to carry it out at some point just as we first conceived it.<\/p>\n

Time of installation: 6 days
\nDamages: none.
\nExhibition time: 7 days?.<\/em><\/p>\n
