The exhibition is curated by Michel Ritter

With Éric Lanz, video explores the world with the manner of an human being avid of knowledge. Sometimes brain in search of interpretations or associations, sometimes eye, sometimes prolongation of our hand, the camera tries to classify, organize reality.

Each band or of the installations which the artist proposes requests our curiosity, and invites us to the interaction. It seems to us to recognize with the screen our own hand, posed on a grid which divides the image into nine fields. A hand which acts, moves, presses on a field or the other, and puts then in action another hand which palpates matters, seizes a tool or a glove “the materials”, “the tools”, “the gloves”.

The spectator gets into the game each time, very seriously, too happy to let speak in him the sorcerer’s apprentice. But Éric Lanz always reminds him with humour that all that is only a game. These installations offer in fact only a show of interaction; and in their sudden appearance, the images obey more randomly than to the rules that the spectator tries to impose on them.
