EUROTUNNEL
1998
Stéphan Barron and Sylvia Hansmann travel by boat accross the English Channel directly above the path of the Chunnel; at regular intervals they throw buoys equipped with beacons linked to satellites. This marking out of the Chunnel's path is eventually dispersed by the wind and ocean currents.
Confrontation of two elements :
- The Chunnel was designed and built using the most modern technology. It symbolises man's domination of nature.
- The sea, that infinite element in perpetual movement, will always be a source of mystery.The Chunnel allows us to cross the Channel without seeing or feeling nature.
With the Chunnel, the movements of men become independent of nature's movement.
Our goal was to superimpose these two aspects.The Chunnel and the sea. Man and nature. The determined and the willed symbolised by the tunnel and by chaos, the latter a source of life.
