Christophe Berdaguer and Marie Péjus, 7ème continent

Every year since 2000, the Centre Pompidou has welcomed the Prix Fondation d'entreprise Ricard, in recognition of an artist representative of the young French art scene. The 2007 prize was awarded by a jury of collectors to Christophe Berdaguer and Marie Péjus for their work 7ème continent.

Since the mid-nineties, Christophe Berdaguer and Marie Péjus have been exploring a dimension of the visual arts strongly associated with architecture and focused on an analysis of the environment and the production of projects in relation to housing or land use planning. From 21 October 2008, they will be presenting 7ème continent, a light installation made up of a Perspex hemisphere equipped with an electronic programmer and fluorescent lamps that artificially generate the daily spectrum of light.
