During this unusual meteorological phenomenon, animals are swept up in tornadoes and carried over great distances before falling back to the ground during heavy rainstorms. The troubling strangeness of this meteorological phenomenon arises not only from the territorial displacement of the species (from underwater to the sky) but mostly from the fact that some fish landed alive. Our current ecofeminist generation can interpret this phenomenon as a prophetic sign. Art au Centre displays this story, real in its factual basis but fictional in its surreal nature and artistic transposition, to question our interdependencies. Behind the window, the installation reveals a pre-apocalyptic landscape of which we remain mere spectators. As a freeze-frame, it captures a memory of the future.<\/p>\n<p>The title refers to the \u201chunger stones\u201d, which serve as hydrological markers. Located in riverbeds, these stones become visible only when water levels are extremely low. They are monuments that commemorate or portend famines. Installed or engraved during times of severe drought, they act as warnings: for instance, a rock in the Elbe River in D\u011b\u010d\u00edn, Czech Republic, bearing the inscription \u201cWenn du mich siehst, dann weine\u201d (\u201cIf you see me, then weep\u201d), reappeared in August 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4949,"template":"","exposition":[49],"class_list":["post-4665","vitrine","type-vitrine","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","exposition-en16"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vitrine\/4665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vitrine"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/vitrine"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exposition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artaucentre.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exposition?post=4665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
