Rebecca Bournigault

Rebecca Bournigault is a French plastician , contemporary born in 1970 with Colmar

“Thus there is an artist Rebecca Bournigault who installs video on the tales of Perrault. ”

Here all that one can about it read on Internet, the artist which installs videos on the accounts of Perrault, and this young man to add that he would have preferred that they are the tales of Grimm, because they are less bloody…

The artist by one of his installations: " The room interdite" 2005

We are there, Rebecca Bournigault, the artist nominated installatrice vidéaste of session 2000/2001 of the Prix Marcel Duchamp, takes to us as hostages between four walls on which the vidéos its four French protagonists come to project, German, English and Argentinian, who tell us the history of blue Barbe. Confusion watches for the spectator when namely who to choose, which to listen, in spite of the fact that it is not polyglot one is tried, and especially there are not an other choice, to let itself go to make us fill the ears in four languages different with an interval from a few seconds by character. The interval? It is the small shift of a few minutes which ago between each starting of tale and each decapitation, at this point in time one finds oneself in a dirty red of which the smooth walls dégoulinent interior, of blood. We would push it with going to take refuge in the prohibited part placed just behind its installation, behind this curtain which attracts our eye at the same time when it is question in the tale never of not opening the door? Then in this second part where are posted with the wall, face to which one finds oneself, the bodies without tète, the lighting spot behind us of a sharp light changes us Cacophonie of with dimensioned, here, it is calm, almost peaceful, although one nothing embarrassing and distressing. While entering the room, it seems to me that our shade projecting itself against the wall made of us one of the assassinated woman of blue beard. One sees our shade being spread out over the wall vis-a-vis us, beside the silhouettes painted with the watercolour, the wall of the women.

Its privileged topic

The Anguish at Bournigault? It comes from its interest for sciences metaphysics, the psychoanalysis in particular and its interest for the cathartic one borne thanks to the childish tales. According to it: “It is allowed that the fairy tales have an effect of Catharsis on the children and the psychoanalysis explains how they contribute to make re-appear unconscious certain driven back memories which cause an emotional discharge with value liberator”.
