Hyperduel Temple

Performative Installation

 

Under the cloister vault the ground is waiting for a new confrontation.

The Hyperduel Temple is a theatrical tool arrangement. It is an accumulation of functional stories;

Here is the stage, the screen, Puddle & Narcissus (wood, fabric,reflective paint, webcam, led light, beamer, wire; 2x 210×210)
here are the speakers, Aqua Gova Vvoofa (wood, fabric, ceramic, car pieces, vinyl, paint, speakers; 2x 100x80x140)
here are the bleachers, Cataracts (wood, fabric, polyester foam, paint; 4x 180x150x160)
here is the box office, Tumular X.ch€ (wood, vinyl, ventilation grills, printer, battery; 70x100x160)
here is the control booth, Jockey (computer, tablet, amplifier, mixing table, webcam, microphone)
here are the technicians, Casuals (retro-reflective fabric, cotton fabric)

Human part, infernal part. A temple? As a private amphitheatre it is a platform for mirror disciplines on a sideline of a major dualism, sacrality versus leisure.
Versus.

Day after day, an audience takes part in the confrontation between two abstract entities;
unknown as Dexsit and Sinsit, two invisible party, that, both take temporarily the shape of an object, a sculpture, an opponent,.. for the time of a duel.

A temporary ceremony takes place, intense and brief, an activation,focusing on how unfollowed practices get born with their own mise-en-scène, and, using the poetical porosity of transformative medias.

The thread is imitating world wrestling entertainment protocol, the secret of the outcome is preserved and protected. The spectacle becomes a shared celebration of the lie. A box office allows you to bet on each duel:

Dexsit vs Sinsit
