Assemblage of dust-covered objects
2024–2025
THOSE PARTICLES OF TIME ARE ALSO BODIES
OBJECTS
Objects from everyday life, silent witnesses to our existence, which—like bodies—bear traces and carry stories.
Within a universe of the everyday, I work like an archaeologist searching for traces and vestiges of what continues to pulse. I am interested in recovering what is on the verge of vanishing. We inherit a past that constitutes us in the present.
I reclaim objects as containers of places where they end up after having been part of a life. I construct totems formed from used everyday objects: vessels, soup tureens, teapots, centerpieces, glasses. I stack and interlock them, and then cover them with dust made of their own materiality. A meta-materiality of affection and time.
I investigate time through minimal particles of matter. Dust—what information does it bring us? I find something poetic in this materiality that accumulates and covers what we leave behind as we move through the world.
I seek to materialize that performative time that leaves marks and alters our perception of reality.
To value the trace is to value memory and inheritance.
