In Le Declin Bleu a seduction of slow movements is performed by otherwise ordinary materials. With the strategic harnessing of light and stealthy kinetics, arrangements of plastic bottles project ornate silhouettes. Our perception of these objects is altered by the tandem challenge of re-contextualization and animation. Landry describes the mouvelle, a paradigm for the existence of the work, as ‘a continually renewed flow of time – a space-time continuum imposed by the work’s very nature.’
