Simón Cien
Alliance Française, Buenos Aires
May 2005

The Alliance Française Gallery is L-shaped, and it is characterized by having a usually crowded walking area leading to different offices as well as a low-transit area. This scene becomes part of the exhibition with a viewpoint to planet Mars in the low-transit wing, where there is sitting space to enjoy the view. The opposite wing is crowned with a big photo of Atomium, the monument of the iron atom in Brussels; this photo accompanies the transit towards the area with the most circulation. A small portrait of the MIT scientist and A.I. theorist David R. Karger operates as a link between both spaces, connected in Simon Cien through artwork triangulation.
