Description
Conclusive Evidence is the title of one of Vladimir Nabokov's novels, which deals with his experience of emigration. In the Russian version, which appeared a few years later, the same novel was called Other Shores. This play on the titles is all the more pertinent when related to the artist's idea of demonstrating that the distance between two points situated at antipodes is close to zero. To illustrate such "moments of cosmic synchronization" described by Nabokov in "Conclusive evidence", Olga Kisseleva chose the shores of Marseilles and of Vladivostok. The artist's equations on gravitation allowed for Marseilles and Vladivostok to communicate at the speed of light, disrupting our physical and mental apprehension of the world and introducing the notion of an "in-between".
