Key-instant (or one-minute core sampling)

According to Stefan Zweig in Les Très Riches Heures de l’humanité, history proceeds by leaps and bounds: a succession of banal facts is interrupted from time to time by key events. These are moments “of great dramatic concentration, carrying destiny, where a momentous decision is condensed into a single day, a single hour and often a single minute”.

Based on current events, we are going to imagine what could be a key moment, a one-minute tipping point, a potential point of concentration. From this spark of a story, we will first imagine and develop a narrative in a non-discursive way, but by association with reported graphic forms, images of collected documentary resources, and isolated words.
This will need to unfold in the space of the room; all three dimensions are possible.

Once the installation has been nurtured and matured, we will look for the most interesting articulations and highlights to transpose it into a particular printed work. This second collective graphic object will use a so-called swirl binding
This second collective graphic object will use a so-called swirl binding and will be made up of 60 flaps. It will allow for visual wandering and back-and-forth reading.

Each of you will be in charge of one stage of this narrative (between four and five flaps (or seconds) if there are fourteen of you) and will participate in the overall design.

Process: Extract, digress, collect, spatialise, explode, associate, play, move, manipulate, locate, link, cut, frame, insert, duplicate, assemble, re-compose, edit, collectively activate.
