Diane Landry, 'La Morue (Cod)'

Using two record players in a DJ-like manner, Diane Landry conducts a true circle of casual objects: various kitchen tools, toys, shoes, skates, for example, randomly take their turn on the plates one after another. Caught in a kind of merry-go-round, their daily routine is 'unsettled'; lit by different light sources and spinning around, the objects assume unreal proportions, almostgigantic, and project a whole universe of moving shadows on the wall (Marie Fraser). The performance was accompanied by an installation at grunt gallery from November 9th to December 1st, 2001.
