Tipping Point
14.05.2023 Bleue - 3ième édition
Théâtre des Bernardines, Marseille (F)
Bleue is a celebration of the sea as a melting pot of biodiversity and part of a whole, our planet, in the era of climate change.
The installation Tipping Point is a sensitive and poetic tribute to those dying glaciers. It stages the (re)birth of an artificial glacier protected by a dome; a drip is feeding the glacier that will grow during the exhibition. The device invites the viewer to attend the birth of this artificial glacier. It is inspired by the “ice stupas” invented by the engineer Sonam Wangchuk and used to fight against water shortages during the summer in Ladakh.
Between a laboratory experiment, an attempt to repair the climate or an ironic collector’s item, the installation confronts us with time and scales; 10.000 years ago, the stabilisation of our cryosphere coincided with the first human traces we found in Mesopotamia, while the fist glaciers are disappearing in 70 years under the pressure of the human activity.
L’HORIZON DES ÉVÈNEMENTS
02.02.2023 - 15.03.2023 l’Atheneum, centre culturel de l'université de Bourgogne & Un Singe en Hiver
Dijon (F)
The space surrounding our planet is becoming saturated with debris; it will soon be impossible to cross this new belt of artificiality without a shield. The event horizon has turned into a thick, sticky fog. Left in suspension above our heads, this waste will end up falling on us, scorching meteors melting the last icebergs on which we could have still leaned before disqualifying the universe.
Impetuous, we sought to tame the infinite, to dominate time, space and climate.
Like a breach towards an undesirable future in which the human being is ironically at the centre of everything, including his own finitude, Barthélemy Antoine-Lœff pushes the voice of this climate that cracks under our feet, by poetry and sensitivity.
L’Horizon des Évènements is an exhibition on two locations:
02.02.2023 - 15.03.2023
l’Atheneum, centre culturel de l'université de Bourgogne
03.02.2023 - 24.02.2023
Un Singe en Hiver
Soleil Noir in Fiat Lux

Soleil Noir is an invitation to contemplate a luminous phenomenon, a journey in the hyperspace between artificial light (digital) and natural light (a dying star).
Soleil Noir explores the perception of a fragment of time suspended in the life of a supernova at the moment of its final explosion, just before its extinction... The moment lasts an eternity; the long-awaited explosion never arrives. It is perceptible in the air, as marked by this this kind of floating moment that we feels before falling... Except that here, we will not hit the ground, there will be no dislocation, there will be nothing except this presence, at once impressive and disturbing, strangely vibrating in front of us and yet almost inert, revealed by the light. Unless it is the opposite, let it be this shape that engulfs lights; we are not far from a black hole.
By this suspension in the life of a supernova, Soleil Noir reveals the energy that must be burned to keep alive the datas that we accumulate during our life. Soleil Noir exacerbates the fragility of the world and the elements that compose it, about to break, even if they are imposing and seemingly immortal. It is a moment of precarious balance that expresses the ephemeral dimension of our lives, both digital and physical.
