Description du catalogue
An artwork consisting of several connected elements: -A watercolour painting, fixed onto an aluminum sheet, depicts a man and a woman. The black aluminum sheet presents different writings in white; at its bottom, a hand painted text reads: He was tempted to scratch it and rub dirt into the nicks and cracks. The plant pots know the routine and wondered why he hadn’t already done so. Reynard swept the dried manure from its plastic overcoat and slid the machine out. At its top: REYNARD AND THE FAX. -A black pillow presents in white capital letters a sewn element reading: LISTEN HERE. A black rope is linked to the pillow by a white stripe looped. -An audio track on cassette relates a story about a man's relation with his fax machine.
