Installation, wooden structure (173 x 125 x 165 cm), slide show, soundtrack Production : Galerie Maisonneuve, Paris ; CPIF, Pontault Combault ; CRAC, Altkirch With : Anton, Ulysse and Aurélien Kopp Die Welt ist alles, was... (The world is all that...) is a miniature cinema conceived by Jan Kopp. The interior of a varnished wooden box shows images of three children climbing on rocks in the forest. Their voices recite in German, like a ritornello, some sentences extracted from Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus logico-philosophicus. Here, the artist seeks to confront two fabrications of images of the world. That of the child, which he invents through play, and that of the adult who proposes an intellectual deconstruction.
