Playlist Breakdown at Inside-Out Art Museum in Beijing until March, Tomorrow Never Knows at 1fa9f.space in Marseille until Feburary
My research investigates the social life of everyday objects and the systemic norms shaped by regimes of production, circulation, and consumption. It examines how signs and infrastructures, from logos to packaging, act not as neutral forms but as signs that orient gestures, organise trajectories, and create desire.
My practice engages with the legacy of minimalism by using its figures of authority to question the way images and objects now operate as protocols, signals, or simulations.
Slowed infrastructures interrupt the ideology of continuity, staging suspension as a possible counter-tempo.
Disposable surfaces, such as plastic bags, materialise the rhetoric of commerce, where expectation is standardised. Transposed into a pictorial register, these fragile supports replay the history of representation while exposing the logics of simulation. Shifts in scale, rhythm, and medium open off-modern bifurcations, where the familiar unsettles itself and where everyday forms reveal their ideological charge.

Le double sens du mot, monnaie en anglais et mutation en français, résonne avec la commercialisation du développement personnel. Le support papier, fragile et sensible, et la lightbox, outil de diffusion du signe, font de tomorrow never knows un objet lumineux mais vulnérable : une métaphore de nos désirs de transformation, pris dans les circuits du marché comme dans ceux de l’intime."
2025, Victoire Coyon et Adrien Menard
