The Forest of Contemporary Art: 7 Comets to come, work n°11

7 Comets to come. David Boeno. Saint-Symphorien, 2014. Programming: Didier Arnaudet. David Boeno invites you to stroll through the park, punctuated by 7 tree trunks cut according to cutting angles obtained from the calculation of the elliptical trajectory of 7 comets. A beveled mirror, like a precious and sparkling object, is embedded in the heart of each of the sections. On each mirror is engraved the name of the comet and the date of its future passage through perihelion, the point of the orbit closest to the Sun which causes the cloudiness of the comet and makes its hair very incandescent. This confrontation of the present moment and the echo of a future coming from a sidereal remoteness, from the constraint of an earthly life and the inaccessible depths of time and space, composes a consciousness of the world where s intertwine the infinite threads of prospective geometries.
