Pictures and music.
This is my archive, a sole landscape.
“Lendemain Demain” is inspired by the Borges short “The Immortal.” The story is about a soldier on the trail of The City of the Immortals, and the transformation he experiences after he finds it. The city had been abandoned ages ago. The Immortals had rebuilt it prior leaving; the buildings are now warped and unusable. A whole city resembling a meaningless, useless labyrinth. Borges writes about time losing its meaning once a person is immortal; therefore no longer needing a city, or even any acts.
I attempt to build a city with my photographs and the music I’ve composed; places deserted by their inhabitants, landscapes and objects that have lost their purpose. Lendemain Demain focuses on the feeling of hollowness once a place has been abandoned, and the environment that accompanies this feeling.

The exhibition had not a predetermined narrative; I asked the attendees to place the photographs onto nails placed onto the walls randomly. Like the creation of the inhabitants of The City of the Immortals, I aimed to form a new installation by reusing materials that are available at hand.
