PATRIMOINES DIGESTES

2025 / Protocol based Installation

Protocol-based installation
Ceramics, metal, chrome, salt, beans, archival materials
Variable dimensions

Developed during a residency at the Contemporary Art Center of Carcassonne, Patrimoines Digestes examines the preservation and transmission of culinary heritage through sculpture, archives and institutional protocols.

Taking cassoulet as its starting point, the installation brings together chromed ceramic cubes, preserved ingredients, metal furniture and two identical archive boxes. The documents they contain can only be handled by municipal services, turning the consultation of an archive into a regulated gesture.

Between conservation and consumption, the work questions what remains of a tradition when its materials, forms and rituals are displaced. Heritage is not presented as something fixed, but as something to be handled, negotiated and put to the test.
