Les eaux dormantes (les démissionnaires)

2024

Installation

Les eaux dormantes (still waters) take the form of puddles whose volume is determined by social, economic or demographic quantification, at a rate of one metric drop (0.05 ml) per unit. Les démissionnaires (the resigning ones) is a statistic that records the number of people who resigned from their jobs in the second quarter of 2024. It forms a puddle of 25.41 litres

Presented as part of the exhibition La République (cynique) (curated by Pierre Bal-Blanc), at Palais de Tokyo, from November 13 to December 1st 2024.
