Stéphan Barron travels for three days from dawn to dusk.

Day 1: stationary. The camera is placed on an axis that rotates 360° in a day, filming the surrounding landscape.

Day 2: on the move. Stéphan Barron walks a wide circle in the countryside.

On the third day, he travels by car: Stéphan Barron drives a wide circle in Normandy.

Stéphan Barron leaves from the same point each morning and returns to the same point each evening, thus describing three circles of increasing size.

These three days correspond to three movements, three speeds, and three spaces.

During these three days of movement, Stéphan Barron collects video images: 10 hours each day, which are broadcast simultaneously on three small monitors in the same video installation.

The space of a day is a reflection on the perception of space, on the different spaces that humans experience every day.

More than just a “video installation,” L’espace d’un jour is a process that viewers are invited to experience, an invitation to try modern forms of meditation: still meditation, walking meditation, car meditation…

Restoring an awareness of space and movement.

While video plays a secondary role in this installation, serving as a memory, a possibility, it above all reminds us of the importance of the present moment, of being present in the world and to ourselves.
