Le rayon vert

 

1882: Jules Verne writes Le Rayon vert [The Green Ray], a novel inspired by an eponymous optical phenomenon.
1986: To make a film entitled Le Rayon vert [The Green Ray], Eric Rohmer draws inspiration from some lines written by Arthur Rimbaud: “Ah! Let the time come / When hearts are enamoured”.

The exhibition bearing this title forms confluences as strange as optics and love, the instant and superstitions. Each of the works shown on this occasion develops a special relationship with time, its variations and experiments involving it. In an oscillation of every possibility, the residents at Le Pavillon are presenting a project where performance, concert, variations, dilations, hypotheses and potentials are intermingled.
