The installation is both a sensate and conceptual work.
It unfolds a dramaturgy shaped by absence and a state of transition, shifting at times from neutrality to vulnerability, then to threat, enhanced by a voice repeating: "I guess you knew what was going on."
Ambiguity operates as a tool to reveal, destabilize, expand readability. It is not an obstacle but a tension, one that keeps the work open, porous. In that space, meaning does not settle. It shifts.
Between storage and sculpture, the objects’ shared dysfunctionality produces a language of refusal : of obedience, of usefulness. They hover between use and abandonment, between identification and decreation.
By employing items with real-world utility, the work steps outside a purely productivist logic. These objects remain reversible: able to be resold, reused, and returned to their original functions after the exhibition. Their temporality resists the fixity of the art object, suggesting an alternative economy where presence is provisional and value, mutable.
