Deposition protocol
ACT 1
Discovery of an architectural element which is representative but ordinary.
Excavation.
ACT 2
Re-presentation on a 1:1 scale.
Documentary production.
Placing of elements opposite each other in a deposition scenography.
ACT 3
Delocalisation.
The object of memory accesses the itinerance and the plastic autonomy while assuming its ambiguous nature as witness of an origin, but also of the ordinary life of professions, habitations and places.
ACT 4
As for the original, it returns to "under-jacent" when the site is returned to its original state. Covering it over is a new disappearance, which ignites the sense of loss.
ACT 5
Semantic.
The separation of the matrix and the print; the tension between the transitory states : apparition / diplacing, deposition / displacement of thoughts like an ephemeral hommage, like an evanescent Memorial.
ACT 6
The elements of the various actions will finally be directed to and reassembled on other sites. The physionomy of the latter offers the equivalence of a "lapidary museum" as a place for storage. The accumulation of diverse or disjointed architectural fragments whises to present a fragmented reality in History and civilisation.
