Curation and scenography : Thierry Fournier

Curated and designed by Thierry Fournier, The Watchers is a series of three digital installations created by three French artists. Each of them transforms in a specific way the image of a live camera that films Tokyo’s landscape from the Mori Tower.

Marie-Julie Bourgeois replaces Tokyo’s horizon by that of Paris (“Vanishing Points”), Marine Pagès covers the landscape with a white mask briefly discovered by the visitor’s touch of a finger (“Floating Bodies”) and Antoine Schmitt draws a large circle rotating in the landscape, making an entire rotation in one hour (“No disc”). With The Watchers, the viewers watch works that in turn watch at the landscape.

These works were initially created as part of the Augmented Window exhibitions curated by Thierry Fournier (2013 / 2014).
