Inspired by the wigmaker’s cones that protected the face from the rice powder applied to the hair, Adélaïde Feriot has equipped the characters in her tableaux vivants with these strange appendages. The performance Le Belvédère (2012) is designed for between one and four characters aged twenty-seven, of the same height, either male or female. It begins when one of them puts on the cone, and ends when, in an intimate relationship with the passing of time, the character decides to show their true face. The static work is “an image to be upheld”, to use the artist’s words, a publicly offered image to which the character remains blind, a secret mental image of the viewer fantasized in this cone, this prism.
