Description of the work
The installation proposed by Marianne Vieulès stems from the My JPL project, a long-term exploration initiated by the artist in 2016 and conceived as a laboratory for performance and propulsion. Through this research, the artist attempts to make objects fly in different ways: using propellant objects, fans or even arm power.
Here, his piece awaiting flight takes the form of a parachute, whose aesthetic evokes archive images of airships, the history of aviation and the conquest of space. A poem generator transcribes the thoughts of the aircraft - words inspired by the artist's encounter with a CNES scientist recounting the sudden loss of contact with his satellite, then his fortuitous and unexpected re-establishment a year later with the now useless object.
Gently shaken by the sighs of a fan that helps set it in motion, the parachute invites us to reflect on the intersection of empathy and machinery.
