.
The exhibition is ALIVE
and for the opening I will give life to an " exhibition cloning " .
the exhibition will activate
local stimulateurs 
to
construct the exhibition as a laboratory for self- measurement .
The exhibition is an
ultra fast exhibition 
speed against "Retard" 
breathing at the same speed
that the medias .
The living
moving exhibition "a pair of genes " is a reflection about genes ,
origins , jeans , my grand father : Jean Koenig and : mon ami Jean .
The question of genes and origins will be taken on two levels : my own
and the local visiteur.
On my own levels I will present the twince brother I never had
but that I staged as the other
the indian against the cow boy
and the twince I have
had as a father 
the exhibition will
also measure the origins of the visiteurs .
Hairs will be collected by
the stimulateurs 
.and then analysed .
" Self
measurement of germaness"

"A pair of Genes " lift the questions
of measuring and measuring methods .
Every day exctracted from the
local, national and international newspapers" the cultural distance"
will be measured 
as well as in the videos
