Le Man\u00e8ge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summer 2002 ended with the \u201c\u00c9mergence, le Cirque\u201d event, and our piece seemed to literally spring out from the waste that was already on the site of Il\u00f4t Fleurie. BGL\u2019s carousel, which was installed in the middle of a \u00admakeshift arena made out of rubbish, offered passers-by the \u00adopportunity to sit down and compare their weight with different types of scrap\u2014TVs, tires, bicycles, newspapers, computers, etc. Once the \u00advolunteer was \u00adstabilized, a member of the collective would hurl him or her, by the sheer strength of his arms, into a gyrating movement \u00adconducive to a dizzy spell but most importantly to a meditation on the weight of our actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
