Edition

Having registered in a large programme of rehabilitation and of requalification of the site in escheat, the presence of the artist opens the way to a new occupation of soil. Gilles Bruni inaugurates a respectful exploration of the places which settles on the understanding of the intimate story of the site and leads to an energising plastic proposal.
Organised around geological, anthropological and technical researches, the scattered prospecting of the artist, relieved by associative, professional or amateur partners, allow him to federate progressively a fleet of homogeneous interventions which will give form to the work of art.

Two supplementary areas allow to arrest the constituting resources of creative process: the environmental installation itself and exhibition in The Carthusian monastery.
This movement, melted in a total process of recycling, cleans up and softens the waste land Carbolux, traumatised in terms of ecology and of collective memory. The indications of physical and moral detriment are recorded in the exhibition of Porterie.
To regenerate inside, the waste land finds so the premises of a taken and confident, healthy allocation; little just like the enchanting constellation produced by the nocturnal blossoming of 150 solar lamps.

On the eve of the équinoxe of autumn, this ultimate energy readjustment works as a possible metaphor of resurgence, a kind of ignition of fires, celebrated at festivities of The Carthusian monastery of the Ladies.
