Does the angle between two walls have a happy ending ?

Immersion in a post-human space, that follows independently a ritual cycle. The range of Shepard, hardly audible, accompanies the visitor along the candlestick-neons, whose overexposure prevents the formation of shadows. On the wall, a monkey in foetal position turns anticlockwise. Then everything switches off. Only the monkey turns incessantly, in religious silence, before its sound and light switch back on.

A new church for a yet-to-be-invented spirituality? An apocalyptic altar? A space regulated by laws no human being would have access to? Does the angle between two walls have a happy ending? lies in the irresolution, at the limits of a mystical dynamism frozen in time.

An installation designed specifically for the “Prima Materia” (“Raw Material”) exhibition at the Punta della Dogana, Does the angle between two walls have a happy ending? by Loris Gréaud is a sensory experience that emerges from a work dedicated to the exploration of dreams, science and linguistics. This work belongs to the Pinault Collection.
