Space Time Travel Tunnel
The tunnel that takes you to the old battery is in fact a portal. It will let you experience scenes from afar from the library of a found sound collector. Utilizing an existing infrastructure that enables passage, this installation turns the tunnel into a passage to other times and places.
Mélissa Lavabre grew up in a tiny village in the South of France then landed in this strange place in 1996 at the age of 17, a sharp contrast to her homeland yet bearing similarities with its vegetation and climate. While the oak trees, sage, raccoons and coyotes of Los Angeles are comforting to her, the co-existing industrial aspects of L.A. also fascinate her. Mostly self-taught, she identifies as a neurodiverse, outsider artist and with all the mediums she has sifted, she is mainly interested in textures, impressions, and documenting both the inner and outer worlds. She seeks to experience and capture the fleetingness and the passing of time through her explorations and collections.
