Oracle (aujourd’hui est-il un autre jour ?)

Every day, at the official time of sunrise, an oracle is gradually revealed on the eastern rampart of the castle of Angers. The apparition is repeated fourteen times until sunset, the same number of scenes that have now disappeared from the tapestries of the Apocalypse exposed in the monument. These enigmatic sentences are determined by daily measurements of air pollution. They offer themselves to the interpretation of the quality of a new day and the world that accompanies it.

Work presented at the Château d’Angers from June 27 to October 2, 2022, produced by the « Mondes nouveaux » program launched by the Ministry of Culture as part of France Relance, in collaboration with the Centre des monuments nationaux.
