Sarah Wendt and Pascal Dufaux’s Quelque part dans l’inachevé is an installation pollinated by performance, and turned into an art film in collaboration with videographer Nina Vroemen. The sculptures and sounds are imaginative and intensely sensory: at microscopic and tectonic, this landscape reveals the “creative potential of an unfinished thing.” In this work, I found myself navigating a universe that was constantly liquifying and crystallizing physical references, as if passing through honeyed time.
