Bio

French-American interdisciplinary artist Luc Trahand’s work spans multiple mediums and forms from music and sound to language, film, and movement.

Humdrum (Sound/Text Installation) Statement by Luc Trahand*

Within the contrived apotheosis of the white gallery, the echolalias recall the rhythms of the heart—”l’organe amoureux de la répétition” (Gilles Deleuze, Différence et Répétition). While the ruptured spleen weakens, the infections of thought can propagate. What starts as nested addition and subtraction becomes a palimpsestic, immersing monologism that is unequaled. A paradox underlies experience: the belief of reality. Architects of our incarceration, bound to an incalculable entropy, one decides what cell to walk into, and, unfreely willing, locks the door. Comfort washes over as one learns the square inches of crusty cement flooring and plastered wall, gradually coloring in the complete unknowns with vacuous understandings. To these constructed confines venerated, our appraisal rings, inebriated by sweet no-things.

*{Humdrum refers to Trahand’s textworks (books) and correlative soundworks included in the collaborative installation works (built with Sinclair Vicisitud) incorporated in this exhibition: installation statement; link to project.}

Humdrum (Sound/Text Installation) Statement by Luc Trahand*

Within the contrived apotheosis of the white gallery, the echolalias recall the rhythms of the heart—”l’organe amoureux de la répétition.”[1] While the ruptured spleen weakens, the infections of thought can propagate.
