Objet Rédimé (la bouteille)
2010
fragments of glass, wire cable, pulley
The "Objets Rédimés" are moulded glass reproductions of everyday objects: an umbrella, a bottle, a bag, a rope, a broom, a hammer, a pile of books. From the heights of the exhibition space they fell, on its concrete floor they shattered. The gallery is the frame of interruption of these falls: the place where these objects are "exploded", where the blasts happen, where the remains are shown. There is only a predetermined amount of reproductions of each "Objet Rédimé" ("Redeemed Object"). One of them is destroyed during each exhibition, an "Objet Rédimé" can only be exhibited a limited number of times. Thus, the edition is not a series, but rather a number of possible exhibitions of an always unique object. The more you exhibit an "Objet Rédimé", the less you can exhibit it. To show it is to destroy it, or at least to limit its possibilities of future apparition. To exhibit it is to exclude it already.
