"Object Lessons 2.0" 14 original school posters Rossignol augmented with invisible UV ink - 75x90 cm 2019
On a set of vintage school posters designed to teach botany, zoology or civic education, France Cadet hand-drew some modifications with invisible UV ink, thus highlighting the rapid mutations of our world. As we enter the Anthropocene, our impact on the planet seems inexorable and irreversible: decreasing biodiversity, climate change, ecology in danger, omnipresence of technologies and AI, hyper-connection, total digital-surveillance... The audience is invited to use a UV flashlight, such as a modern day explorer, in order to reveal a contemporary vision of these precepts and the induced paradigm shifts. |
