Signal _ Espace(s) réciproque(s) at Friche la Belle de Mai during Manifesta 13

In Marseille, the exhibition 'Signal _ Espace(s) réciproque(s)' is on view at Friche la Belle de Mai from June 17 to October 25, 2020, proposed by the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles as part of the Parallèles du Sud program of Manifesta 13. The show explores observation and invisible signals through works by Julien Maire, Claire Williams, Emmanuel van der Auwera, Edith Dekyndt, and Eva l’Hoest. Julien Maire's 'Composite' features a micrometric engraver that alters micro-camera sensors, with resulting drawings affecting live video feeds. Claire Williams' 'Zoryas' uses noble gas ionization in glass containers, with sound transmitted via bone conduction. Emmanuel van der Auwera's 'Vidéosculpture XIV (Shudder)' projects archival film onto a black reflective surface, referencing the 17th-century Claude mirror used by painter Claude Lorrain. Edith Dekyndt's 'One Second of Silence (part 1, New-York)' presents a transparent flag, associating invisibility with John Cage's silence. Eva l’Hoest's 'Under Automata' uses a scanner instead of a camera to capture passengers sleeping on a long-haul flight, creating a slow, calculated image. The exhibition emphasizes altered perspectives and the role of technology in perception.
