Windbreaker – Brise vent

Windbreak made of larch wood slats mounted on a metallic structure. The orthogonal arrangement of the pairs of wooden slats that make up this structure is inspired by the structure of the panels of a folding screen but also of the one of the reconciliation. Indeed, as in this object of the xviii century imagined for didactic purposes by Pastor Oberlin, the arrangement of the wooden slats provokes, depending on the position of the spectator, an anamorphic effect that doubles the reading of what is inscribed on their surface. This is how the names of the four dots cardinals will be successively legible according to the way in which the walker takes his place. Artistic work by Ilana Isehayek, originally from Canada, who has been living in Alsace since 1989. Access: on foot from the VVF of Saâles (path forbidden to traffic, steep slope, long and stony). By car from the village of St-Stail.
