Le Dortoir, 2002, installation vidéo, 10 min.
Avec l'aimable permission de l'artiste.
Jordi Colomer

Jordi Colomer enquires in his work into the principle of an architecture in which everything must be visible from the outside. Dortoir, his most recent video, presents a transverse view of a fictitious architecture, which shows the scene on the morning after an enormous party, in reference to a chapter in the book Life A User's Manual by Georges Perec. The camera roams from floor to floor, unperturbed by the limitations of the space, moving about strangely in this decor filled with the refuse from a party, occasionally scrutinising the characters, who are sound asleep.

Jordi Colomer was born in 1962 and lives and works in Barcelona. His videos have been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe. His work has been shown at the Villa Arson in Nice, at the Galerie Michel Rein in Paris (2002), at the Juan de Aizpuru gallery in Madrid, at the Centre d'art Santa Mònica in Barcelona (2000), at the Centre d'art contemporain le Creux de l'Enfer in Thiers (1999), and at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (1998).
