zobjeyx
2006

Installation: 6 synchronised videos, 22’; 33 ceramic objects; Blind zobjeyx, video, 9’; The Haunted Tools, text on monitor, by Elizabeth Haines, 2’.

zobjeyx deploys a shape creation process. At the beginning of the chain, names of futuristic objects collected
in science fiction novels (homeojournal, twonky, igniteur, gluck, sexophone, ...). Each word passes through the hands of a mime who animates it. The result is translated in a ceramic workshop. The ceramic objects are entrusted to a blind sculptor who speaks about them. At the end of the exhibition, a fictional dialogue between a science fiction writer and an archaeologist takes place on a monitor: "We need to find our fingerprints on them, it’s our finger- prints that have the clues we have been looking for."
