MadLab1 gather pieces of a story, allowing to enter a forbidden altered reality referencing the alchemist
recipe of the artificial man. The guests will be visitors of this mise en scene, linking the sacred and the uncanny
as the first ingredients of an ontological reflection. The two pieces displayed use symbolic materiality of
forbidden places, fertile for creative horror and terrific wonder - either a scientific laboratory, a slaughterhouse -
staging the audience as a witness of unsolved mysteries.
“The big toe is the most human part of the human body, in the sense that no other element of this body is as differentiated from the corresponding element of the anthropoid ape”
George Bataille, Visions of Excess: Selected Writings 1927-1939, p 20
