Subterranean Homesick Blues is a 36-metre-long fresco exploring the idea of subterranean « survivance », of a buried state of civilisation that needed to be brought to light. Painted entirely with telluric pigments - earth from France and Italy - the fresco was created in situ, in the barn where it will be exhibited. Subterranean Homesick Blues will be presented in the form of a large suspended architecture to be observed in a certain darkness.
This work is an integral part of Edgar Sarin's work, designing architectures in situ while leaving open the possibility that, through the heuristic power of the exhibition, they might be transformed and crystallize a pictorial folklore specific to each exhibition. This architecture therefore has an ambiguous status and, as a harvesting structure, will evolve over the course of the exhibition.
