LE ROND UNIVERSEL AT CHRISTIAN LARSEN

Exhibition at Christian Larsen Gallery 16/2 - 24/3  2013



“Do you know what I mean?”

In a room sits a firebug. It sits in a wheelchair and speaks into a microphone. In the background stands a bat, it fiddles with some things. Fossils, books, a model of the solar system and a crystal ball. The room is round, the interior of some tower. They are inside it, they circle around it, they look down into its circular opening from above.

In Le Rond Universel, Lisa Jeannin/Rolf Schuurmans show us how the veiled and the lucid can exist within each another. The scientific wish to understand and structure the world becomes intertwined with the mystic as the world’s most advanced science itself sometimes moves towards the occult.

Jeannin/Schuurmans work in the space that occurs between what we can explain and what we do not know. It is a world that could be described as surreal or mystical but rather it shows us that what we call logical always borders on the enigmatic and the obscure – something that exists beyond physical reality and yet is a part of it.

Le Rond Universel is an opening into an undefined world, a world that turns, where the microscopic and the macroscopic are inseparable. The universal circle. The thoughts of the glowworm spin in circles – born into and from each other, holding on or breaking – like the child’s before they are subjected to a generalizing framework that describes the workings of the world. Before they are organized into a so called understanding.

With Jeannin/Schuurmans, the vague and the ambiguous – a question or a loose thought – are as close to reality as clear answer.

LE ROND UNIVERSEL

Le Rond Universel

A film by Lisa Jeannin & Rolf Schuurmans

2012

story and storyteller: Stéphane Jeannin

the juggler: Per-Henrik Fredriksson

This film is related to "The Tower of Insight" (see previous post) but can also be showed independently.

"Let me tell you what is passing through my mind" a firebug says.

A firebug and a bat are inside a room filled with fossils, sculptures, books, a model of the planetary system etc.

Through out the film the firebug is telling his reflections on astronomy, the concept of time etc via an amplified microphone while the bat is busy with different mysterious investigations in the room, listening to the thoughts of the firebug at the same time.

The text was improvised on the spot and recorded by an 6-year old boy who is thinking in a microcosmic and macrocosmic circular way at the same time.

The film reminds us that all humans are natural born philosophers and have the ability to realize that we are all part of the universe and should treat the Earth with greater care.
