Description
In this piece, while observing the effects of new technology, Olga Kisseleva has singled out the conditioning of behaviour at the heart of complex systems on the local as well as the global scale. Her interventions, which are strictly related to context, are anchored in a principle of vigilance and critical meaning.
Within the framework of a public art work made for the Lycee du Pays de Retz in Pornic, the artist was inspired by the architecture invented by the group Associated Architects Engineers: a building covered in wood with photovoltaic panels on the roof of the bioclimatic covered courtyard, vegetalized roofing, recycled rainwater for the collective sanitary facilities and watering systems, solar hot water and even nests installed for the bats... Olga Kisseleva's project echos the energy and environment choices that prevailed in the construction of the lycee. Her installation is called "Syracuse's Tree", as a reference to the Syracuse problem, the result of which is always the intact and whole number 1, like this building "which is coherently integrated into the nature in an intact and whole unity". The artwork, a graphic representation made of LED, is spread across the courtyard, on the glass, proliferating and playing with the diffracted projections of shadows – a plastic and mathematical landscape that the students are permanently in contact with.
