Welcome

to "Traces",
a project by Wilmès & Mascaux,
exploring the landscape,
searching for the frozen time,
on the tracks of the disrupted.

Briefly

n We follow the traces of deserted landscapes all around the world in search of abandoned sites where the "evolution has been disrupted". We practice a kind of "poetic archeology".

n A part of the landscape is surrounded in a perfect square, then we collect silicone imprints, samples, photographics surveys and environmental sounds to re-create the atmosphere of the chosen sites.

n We have begun this work of "recording the landscape" in Mexico, Europe, Canada & Australia.

n The collection of pluridimensional images would serve to create an artistic and poetic source of consultation and information which would remind people of landscapes which have already disappeared or are in evolution.

n As part of our installations, we propose a sound and tactile journey between different points of the earth linked with cartographic lines. Then appears between these points, a strange and magic relation in the space and in the time.
