Artistic conception et realization  2012/2013:
Elizabeth Creseveur & Ursula Kraft

VOIR & ETRE VU articulates in two interventions: one in the real space – fixed pictures -, and the other one in the virtual space – moving pictures -. They are placed in key spaces which allow the visibility of school on several levels of perception, the entrance of the school and the intro of the web site. The architectural face becomes with the photographic filmsinterface between the inside and outside space. A closed eye, an open eye, linked by a gradation of colors deploy on all the length of the glazed facade. The daylight illuminates the images from the outside inward with the CDI, at night the installation of artificial lights enlightens the images of the inside towards the outside, like a bright box. In the second intervention, the ” photographic eye ” becomes ” video eye “. Like a sequence in movement, the eye opens the web site of school. The iconography of eyes is universal, ” to see and to know ” are closely linked, they transmit a reflection on our contemporary world, and send back to common representations.

VOIR & ETRE VU establishes a dialogue, plays on several methods of perception, and involves the spectator physically in the space-image.
