Impressions de Lumière - L'Arbre de Vie / Chateau de Blacons, France - 2007 - Lloyd Godman

Construction & installation of Chambre Noire - 2007

24 Aug 2007

I spent the morning trying to track down a larger image file in Australia that we could use for the poster and invite. This seemed to take for ever with on resolution by the end of the day. Tess left for Sweden and in the afternoon I moved up to stay at the Chateau in the Gîte.

 

 

By the time I had arrived Cédric had installed some of the wooden frame work and the door.

We had to put a cross brace at the end to keep the structure vertical.
By the late afternoon, Cédric, Beatrice and myself finished off the wooden components of the structure.
We had lots of wonderful support from Celeste, their 9 month old daughter who is the dearest little girl - always smiling.
We kept working into the evening installing the first sheets of black plastic.
By 8pm when we sat down fro the evening meal the 2 end walls had been covered with black plastic.

 

Daniel Van de Velde, who had worked at the Chateau arrived to pick up his fascinating hollow trees works. Daniel stayed over the night and deinstalled his work the next day.
