Marie Cool Fabio Balducci
(Born in France; born in Italy. They live and work in Paris, FR)
Their practice centres on actions performed with everyday objects and normed industrial materials, through which they test the concept of ownership and expose the futility of attempting to possess or achieve visual ascendancy over them. By employing standardised, easily accessible components and elementary gestures, they dissolve hierarchies between the inanimate and the animate, between space and the action performed within it, foregrounding a principle of reciprocity inherent in possession. Repetition and striking slowness introduce a poetic element that breaks with production norms, shifting attention from outcome to process and suspending the expectation of a finished result, inviting the viewer to experience the present not as representation but as analogy and contingent relation.
Their work is currently on view at Fishead Lab.
