ABSTRACT
The four films created by Mark Lewis for his work Invention au Louvre 2 are projected in a room that is not really a room, as this beautiful rectangular space is also a thoroughfare leading to an elevator from which visitors come and go. It is adjacent to the wide and endless corridor along which are displayed the monumental elements that allow visitors to imagine the building of the Louvre from the 15th century, thanks to a reconstruction that is underlined by the light shed on it by Joseph Kosuth’s contemporary art piece Neither Appearance nor Illusion, an installation comprising of discontinuous sentences whose immense sparkling letters are displayed on the upper part of the walls, along with architectural reconstructions of the Louvre.
