THE NAP

Clay

2015

This is one of the first creations where the organic becomes one of the subjects of our production. We created a mutant cinder block. It gives the impression of being soft, and stands out from the rest of these contruction objects that we have the habit of seeing. Since the 1950s, these manufactured concrete blocks are mass produced by the industry at a lower cost. The cinder block is an ideal representation of our society that advocates for stability and democracy.

Here, with the least resistance, its rigidity and strength relax, and it takes the appearance of a creature at rest. Like a deserter, it runs away from its obligations and rejects the model of construction which it was destined for. By dissociating itself from its standard-formated colleagues, it takes the time to take a nap.
