The sea does not write, at least visibly it gives us no sign to read, no text to decode, no story to peruse or consult.

Reading what was never written
Thierry Davila

A thunderstorm. Night. Water runs down the walls, onto the windowsills, it runs from the roofs, down the façades

« Je crois que ma patrie... mon capital c’est d’être apatride. C’est ce qui me pousse à continuer. C’est ce qui fait que dès que je suis quelque part, je suis très curieux, je deviens tout de suite un viennois, un français, un allemand. J’ai passé un an en Amérique, et j’ai tout de suite lu des livres en anglais. Je n’ai pas vraiment de patrie. »

Ecosystem, 2016
Wood, metal, soil, white clover seeds, time, sun, water, daily performance
± 700 × 300 × 15 cm

Inverting our geographical referents, Ecosystem materializes the expanse of the Mediterranean Basin and dematerializes the surrounding continents, leaving on the floor nothing but a shape both familiar and unknown. The sea is metamorphosed into an island of fertile land. On this mysterious Atlantis, seeds of white clover sprout, grow and die. Native all along the Mediterranean coast, this forage plant helps keep invasive species at bay, while its rare, coveted four-leaf variety embodies the quest for good luck.
