INSTALLATION

THE ELECTRONIC BIBLE AND THE PERSIAN GULF WAR

NATIONAL CENTRE FOR ART AND TECHNOLOGY, REIMS
10 MARCH – 19 MAY 1991
LA BASE, LEVALLOIS-PERRET
26 JUNE – 3 AUGUST 1991

The installation is located in a pit and viewed from above. Down below, 15 LED message boards of varying sizes, planted in six tons of sand specially flown in from Kuwait, display a steady stream of quotations from the Bible juxtaposed with news dispatches from the war zone. A vertiginous mise-en-abîme effect is produced by the myriad reflections of the moving red LED lights in the full-length mirrors that line the walls of the installation. Surrounded by these modern-day electronic tablets of the law there stands a totem: a single video monitor, surrounded by a battery of cameras like an obsequious head of state at a photo op, playing television news clips from the war non-stop at accelerated speed.
