« In the spring of the first year tof the reign of King Qin I of Western Zhou dynasty, the day dawned twice at a place called Zheng».

One’s life is always the recipient of another. like two distinctive elements collinding with each other to create a new statement. Using the post-apocalyptic background of an unsettled GDR building, Nicolas Bourthoumieux offers a site-specific installation in which heteregeneous and discreet items from his personal story resonate with documents and found objects of Mankind History. Times and spaces are dilated. Intertwined in the thickness of the successive layers of meaning, various discourses are initiated by other artists, friends and mentors that Nicolas likes to consider as his soulmates. This tumult of situations generates a constellation of rational miracles. light and balance also appear into darkness.
