The ongoing exhibition of Mark Geffriaud’s film installation 'Deux mille quinze' at Le Plateau, Paris ends on December 11, 2016. It's your last chance to see the installation that is nothing short of a journey back in time, a reality in reverse.Geffriaud takes us to two distinct places facing in opposite directions in the current of time, each in a way trying to expect its own “time-zone”. The first location is the construction site of the largest telescope in the world in the Atacama Desert, Chile. The second is the shores of Lake Titicaca, between Peru and Bolivia, where large building stones were abandoned more than a thousand years ago. The first is being designed to gaze at great distances in space so as to look at and study the occurrences of the past. The second locale was, in theory, an attempt of the ancient man to gaze forward in time and project a future that will forever remain fictitious. The stones were abandoned generations ago for unknown reasons. In Geffriaud’s film, the two places mirror their purposes and their goals, yet deal with the same super-real entity, time.The exhibition is on view at Le Plateau, 22 rue des Alouettes, 75019 Paris.
