reconstituted oil rig in front of the museum, Lausanne

Oil rig on the "desertified" place Riponne, Lausanne

First part as a public intervention for the festival Les Urbaines.

The sculpture is loudly inhabited by a soundtrack with a text reenacting the controversy on how to find resources between the "sourcier" (water diviner) and the state geologist, displaced on the topic of urban space as a matter of exploitation. The dialogue is interrupted with a field recording composition by Gilles Aubry.
