An accordion that is rooted in a physical place, in this case it's the rocks found around Wrac'h island situated in Brittany, France. The rocks can only be seen at low tide and Corre has carefully depicted over 60 of them in this accordion. Corre has also done a number of other works that explore the subject of the rocks found in this vacation location, indeed this work comes from an exhibition of her's titled “Roch Gored: mapping chaos around the lighthouse.” The landscape also features a lighthouse at the entrance to the estuary and Corre introduces it in this poem about this piece:
Le Chaos
The lighthouse signals us
we are guardians of the coast,
tickled
by the current
we have a good laugh
underwater
tomorrow,
facing the chaos.
