Jeanne Susplugas & Alain Declercq

Biennale Images Vevey
2012
Castle

Conceived specifically for Festival Images, the Castle encouraged visitors to reflect on the art of concealment by covering the glass walls of the Vevey theater with one hundred or so images of facades of French Renaissance castles. By this act of photographic teleportation, Jeanne Susplugas and Alain Declercq (France, 1969) reinterpreted the outer architecture of the building and its medieval-like tower to reveal it to Vevey residents under a different light, like a set removed from the stage.
