Weather - Illusion / Temps - Illusion (2)

This is not to be read before "Weather - Reality" (29 October) : it would be a bit like giving away the end of a film.
This picture represents the installation by Olafur Eliason at Tate Modern, London. In the gigantic Turbine Hall and for several months, people were able to enjoy the balmy climate created by The Weather Project.
The reality and the realism of it all suddenly became illusory when one decided to see what lay behind the sun: huge neons and monofrequency lamps. Mostly, the greatest surprise occured when, lying on the floor, one could see one's reflection in the ceilinged mirror...
The sun was therefore just a semi-circle and the whole show an illusion, like art in general.
The feeling was very much comparable to the one experienced towards the end of the film The Truman Show, whose ending will not be revealed here...

Ceci ne devrait pas etre lu avant "Temps - Realite" (29 octobre) : ce serait comme livrer la fin d'un film. Cette image represente l'installation d'Olafur Eliason. Dans le gigantesque Hall des turbines de la Tate Modern de Londres, et ce pour plusieurs mois, les gens pouvaient apprecier la douceur climatique creee par le Weather Project.
La realite et le realisme devinrent illusoires qund on decidait d'aller voir derriere le soleil; d'immenses neons et des lampes monofrequence. Surtout, la plus grande surprise venait de ce qu'une fois allonge, l'on voyait son image se refleter dans le miroir du plafond. Le soleil n'etait qu'un demi-cercle et tout le spectacle une illusion, comme l'art en general. Le sentiment etait bien comparable au sentiment eprouve vers la fin du film The Truman Show, dont la fin ne sera pas revelee ici...
