As part of the project Pause that will take place from november 15th to december 15th 2008 under the leadership of the new Limousin contemporary art network, 5,25, the Centre international d’art et du paysage choose to invite Hans-Waler Müller as a curator of this event by using the three inflatable modules that he created for the island of Vassivière as video and film screening spaces.
Seven sessions will be held inside the three modules set up on three locations of the island of Vassivière (forming an equilateral triangle between the Aldo Rossi's lighthouse-tower, the border of the lake and Erik Samakh's plantings). The selection of the movies to be screened inside the modules was naturally entrusted to Hans-Walter Müller, thus offering a glance into what fed his utopias and prompted his amazing architectures as well as allowing the viewers to discover or rediscover films of great interest in an extraordinary setting.
Hans-Walter Müller likes to recall that he was first interested by the inflatable as a surface for screenings, variable, capable of disappearance and apparition. The inflatable as a quivering skin that was projected to metamorphose itself, to create "wonder" through the images.
This project is well set in the continuity of the Art center's action which offers the artists to screen a film, that was influential for them, at Eymoutiers' Jean Gabin cimema as well as another film of their choosing that is displayed on the video screen inside the Art center's bookstore throughout the exhibition.
