Sound and light are the two major ingredients of Claude Lévêque’s recipe for generating powerful emotional experiences in the viewer. Standing before a piece by Lévêque, the viewer is always in the presence of a show, a spectacle. Often done on site, his pieces draw from our collective unconscious and its wealth of popular imagery a force that conjures up our personal and shared history, the history of a generation that has seen its dreams sink into the triviality of the real world.
