Victor Burgin made a name for himself in the late 1960s with his contributions to the first museum exhibitions at the birth of conceptual art. His work explores the relationships between still images, moving images and words, most often in their narrative and semiological functions. The exhibition at the Jeu de Paume presents a selection of works ranging from his work combining text and photographic images to his current production of videos using 3D digital modeling.

Mission Recherche

Conceived as a voyage of initiation, the installation, To Whom the Bird Should Speak?, evokes the fragility of conserving intangible heritage and the vulnerability of a culture in the face of rapid global change. In this visual, abstract work, the artist recreates "bird song", a lost oral language of the Bo tribe, whose last speaker, Boa Sr., died out in 2010. A maze of screens, three metres high and nineteen metres long, forms a fragile labyrinthine architecture in which visitors are invited to wander.
