In May 2008, after a year of testing out the materials and finalising the project with the museum’s technical team, Laurent Pariente installed, in Mudam Luxembourg, his new work of art: a single wall over 300 metres long, transparent and coloured, formed from 144 panels put together with hinges, unfurling in the central area of the Grand Hall. This film retraces the construction and installation of the work of art. With no commentary besides that of this venture’s participants (Laurent Pariente as well as that of the Mudam Luxembourg team members), day after day, Antoine de Roux’s camera – unobtrusive yet observant – follows the team every step of the way, through the difficulties and the uncertainties. From this artistic and intimate vantage point into which they are thrust, the film’s viewers are able to familiarise themselves with the work, and are made completely free to give it meaning, and consider its beauty.
