NIGHT AND DAY AMONGST FLOWERS

2006 Iran, Esfahan

In the group exhibition Swiss Transit-Esfahan Visual at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Esfahan

A night garden: a video installation with moving butterfly shadows in an artificial flower garden lit with flashlights


This project continues the intervention UN MORCEAU DE CIEL initiated in Paris in the summer of 2005. Pol 5 traveled to Esfahan with a butterfly stage set, a suitcase and video work, and there developed the basic concept with the people they encountered, using the materials they found on site.

The work resulted in a three-part exhibition at the museum.

A day garden: a stage with a butterfly, a carpet and flowers, as background for portraits.
A yellow room: a lit room as stage for the presentations of photos from the intervention at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, from the performance at the art academy, and the staged view on the Pole Khaju Bridge.
