SceauxTechnological carrions
Is the technological world we live in much more material than it seems? This is the question that guides Maëva and Arnaud Grapain, siblings who formed an artistic collective after graduating from the Villa Arson in Nice. One of their latest works is entitled Back to the Future (2025) and was produced for Le Wonder, the community studio where they both work in Bobigny. This full-scale replica of the Back to the Future car is presented here as an archaeological discovery, covered in a clay-like, fibrous material, like an organism in decomposition. The raw material used to create the sculpture is the result of a careful process of recycling, with the artists now committed to producing works with minimal carbon footprints and in line with eco-design principles. This organic, stringy aesthetic is also at play in Ghost Fire (2024), a salvaged construction claw that transports us to a desolate landscape of industrial ruin, and again in Starlink (2021), a sculpture inspired by the satellites of the same name that now overpopulate the low orbit of our skies.
Whether the projects take the form of installations, photography or video, a sculptural logic always guides gestures. Indeed, for the film Sans Soleil [Sunless] (2024), the aim was to stage a highly aesthetic film-object in a nocturnal closed setting in which the objects and forms seem to be overcome by a strange affliction: irradiation in a toxic and overheated climate, in a world scorched by an increasingly sick and diminishing sun. This solar agony exacerbates what the artists call pyrolandscapes devoured by flames, incendiary scenes in which the materials melt in a reddening twilight. What kind of world might be reborn from that one? The question remains entirely open to a new apocalyptic imaginary.
In this respect, the spectral presence of nuclear energy is never far away. We can sense it in the blue light that occupies several installations, a direct reference to the Cherenkov glow of the radioactive pools in power plants. Carcasse 2, 3, 4 [Carcass 2, 3, 4] (2024) is a collection of pieces that the artists very powerfully describe as “technological carcasses,” all clothed in cables and hanging from motorised butcher hooks—somewhere between Rembrandt’s Le Bœuf écorché [Slaughtered Ox] (1655) and David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ (1999). It is here that we think of the physicality of the immaterial, about data centres and underwater cables carrying our digital interactions and the daily transmission of billions of images on social networks—everything that philosopher Peter Szendy has called “the supermarket of images,” this saturated and exponential economy, which, ultimately, is tremendously physical, polluting and heavy.
