7 Comets to come. David Boeno. St. Symphorian, 2014. Programmation : Didier Arnaudet. David Boeno invites you to a walk in the park, punctuated by 7 tree trunks cut according to cutting angles obtained from the calculation of the elliptical trajectory of 7 comets. A bevelled mirror, like a precious and sparkling object, is embedded in the heart of each section. On each mirror is engraved the name of the comet and the date of its future passage through perihelion, the point in the orbit closest to the Sun that causes the comet to cloud and make its hair highly incandescent. This confrontation of the present moment and the echo of a future coming from a sidereal distance, the constraint of an earthly life and the inaccessible depths of time and space, composes a consciousness of the world where the infinite threads of prospective geometries intertwine.
