Le Périmètre de Denver

Le Périmètre de Denver (The Denver Perimeter) is a work which explores the idea of the object as allegory, with an extremely physical approach to the use of words, illustrated using a constantly changing physical presence, and a conflict between reality/ fake-reality/ artifice and what we call the “Rashomon” effect.

Le Périmètre de Denver retraces an investigation into a murder which took place in 2008 at a thalassotherapy spa hotel in the UK. Seven people testify about what they saw, about how and why they entered the mental danger zone which is the “Denver Perimeter.” Who killed the victim? Is it necessary to step outside the Perimeter?
