TV (Switzerland, 2004-2007)

We often hear it said that the television is the idol of our times. We sit before it daily for hours, sometimes slavishly, sometimes in ecstasy. Thus there are countless religious connotations applied to the television. It often proclaims its own reality, it is a source of inspiration for many, and for others is the guiding light of their lives. The box in our living rooms symbolizes the influence of the whole medium on our daily lives, and on the world as a whole. In a city of his own creation Mathieu Bernard- Reymond has replaced all the windows by television screens. In doing so he emphasizes the omnipresence of the spiritual medium of our day: television.
