CAILLOUX
Sound Installation — 2009
Cailloux, Installation view at Cycle d’Art Contemporain de Vernand, 2009
This installation revolves around an annual activity at the family farm near Saint-Etienne in France.
When the fields have been plowed, rocks emerge from the ground. The farmers pick them up and throw them into a dump-truck. Then they use them for building embankments. This work is repeated every year, as if rocks were growing afresh every season.

This installation describes a customary action done in my parent’s farm near Saint-Etienne in France.
When the fields have been plowed, rocks emerge from the ground. The farmers pick them and throw them into a dumper truck. Then they use them as embankments.
This work is renewed from year to year. It is as if rocks were growing up every season.
