THE INSTALLATION:
THE
'THEATRE DE BEYROUTH' REPRESENTED BY ONE OF ITS OWN SEATS, FRAMED IN ITS
OWN WINDOW. THE WINDOW IS A CUT: THOUGH IT BELONGS TO THE STREET VISUALLY,
IT IS PHYSICALLY A PART OF THE THEATRE. |

ONE: THE SEAT, LOOKING TOWARDS THE SEA, TURNING ITS PROFILE TO THE PASSERS-BY
FINDS ITSELF TRAPPED UNDER A MECHANICAL SOW PARALLEL TO THE WINDOW. THE
ENGINE STARTS. THE SOW MOVES BACK & FORTH, IT DESCENDS VERY SLOWLY
ßDURING 25 DAYS, MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE SEAT. ON THE LAST DAY,
ON THE 27TH OF MARCH, CELEBRATING THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE THEATRE,
THE SEAT IS TOTALLY CUT IN TWO [PIECES] |
