on the edge

exposition au Korundi Art Museum à Rovaniemi en Finlande

49ème congrès de l’Académie Internationale de Céramique (AIC) sur la thématique On the Edge, été 2020 >> annulé ^{(canceled Pandemie)}

Have we (fully) eaten up the earth ?

The thin and fragile porcelain, deformed during the firing process, displays an iconography narrating the outrageous exploitation of natural resources (mining, extraction of oil and gas, deforestation) and the disappearance of livable conditions for humanity.
Has the consumer society, in its will for an endless growth, swallowed up precious resources to the last drop ?
The two images* confront us with our responsibility; facing the planet screaming from exhaustion and communities impacted until their extinction.
Is humanity on the edge of collapse ?

installation > 1 porcelain-decals object, 4 spoons, 1 golden porcelain drop, 1 newspaper cut, 1 reproduction
