66 Les Prairies's artists PRATCHAYA PHINTHONG sleeping sickness, 2012. Courtesy galery gb agency, Paris. Photography : Pratchaya Phinthong. Pratchaya Phinthong's works are all part of a project and can come in appreciably different forms. They are based on processes of displacement and connect diametrically opposed situations which, without his intervention, would be unaware of one another. At the same time they bring into the open a particular social, geographic and economic situation. Sleeping sickness is the extension of a project on sleeping sickness that Pratchaya Phinthong began for Documenta 13 in Kassel. Sleeping sickness is a fatal disease mainly affecting people in sub-Saharan Africa. Facing the prototype of a fly-trap, designed in dialogue with researchers and scientists, and looking like a small tent made of blue fabric, a monitor broadcasts the sound track of a sleeping sickness awareness documentary. As the images have been removed from the film, only the script in sub-title form and a drawing by Thai illustrator Vichai Malikul provide an actual representation of the illness. At the same time as the work went on show, 500 blue tents were set up in Zambia, Ethiopia and Tanzania as a grassroots test of the effectiveness of the traps. Throughout the Biennial the local people are invited to send in images of the traps in their actual context for display at La Criée. With sleeping sickness, Pratchaya Phinthong is presenting the outcome of a research and creation process that takes an artistic venture into the domain of social welfare. tr. J.H.

JORGE SATORRE Divine Truth. Evidentiary Piaxtla. (Détail). 2008-2010. Courtesy of the artist. JUDITH SCOTT Judith Scott suffered from Down's syndrome and was a deaf-mute. Her sculptures are objects wrapped in layers of wool. At a specialist artistic institution for the handicapped that she attended, she developed a style of art based on assemblage. She would tie up objects she had found, covering them with coloured threads or fabric ribbons. Under the thick wrapping, the objects more often than not lost their original shape, and yet they could be called neither shapeless nor misshapen. These sculptures can evoke cocoons or dolls, knots, eggs, physical growths or ritual objects with magic powers. Once the object was covered to her satisfaction, Scott would lose interest in it, put it to one side and pass on to the next work, where she would repeat the process. Her approach to art seems to have been one of gleaning, covering, knotting and concealing. What her aesthetic or symbolic intentions were cannot be ascertained. Archive images of her at work reveal the precision of her gestures and her choices of materials, colours and textures, and also the physical nature of the artistic act – the importance to her of the tactile aspect. M. C. tr. J.H. Born in 1943 in Cincinnati (United States), died in 2005. Les Prairies's artists Inspired by micro-history as formulated by the historian Carlo Ginzburg, Jorge Satorre works from facts and stories about the facts. He weaves interpretations around what is for him an idée fixe, not to say obsession, namely that a fact once it has been related becomes the story. In his oeuvre theory is mapped perfectly onto practice. The methods he uses involve careful thought about transmission and interpretation without, however, being illustrative. The final installation often combines drawings and documents and constitutes a prism with several facets: documentary, historical, fictional and personal. The spatial mechanism forms a mnemonic experience at both collective and individual level. Jorge Satorre is engaged in micro-history while simultaneously producing meta-stories. The concept of point of view is actually incorporated into the production process itself. This is evidenced in Divine Truth, for example, where he invited several different people to make drawings of the same story. This complex work, displayed here for the first time in its entirety, is made up of several layers and it weaves together various narrative elements. One occasionally loses the thread of the narratives which the very pared down installation both condenses and expands at the same time. The series of drawings covered in black, "like an overexposed film", both contradicts and suspends the didactic and evidential nature of the image in question, turning interpretation into a quest and at the same time creating a screen which draws the beholder deep into the images – a screen on which he or she can project an interpretation. tr.
