MAROTTE

The marotte, as a vector of exploration, finds various modalities of appearance. The French term dada was already “swindled” and “squeezed” of significations for almost a century. We have this other homonym, marotte, which should find its own way in between profound study and monomania.

The selection presents an almost palpable uncertainty of the artist-obsession relation, as is the auto-referential approach of Olga Koch or the mnemo-traumatic one of Vehanush Topchyan. So, we are asking socratically ourselves, how can you find something if you are ignoring it? And if you manage to find it, how can you be sure that this is what you were looking for?
