Tout est Chaos

For a production of meaning in the era of saturation, by Pli office.

We live surrounded by objects. Produced, distributed, consumed, they respond, anticipate, simplify, but in wanting to solve everything, they no longer say much.

And if mass production has kept the promise of a functional and accessible world, it has above all created an excess from which a disenchantment now emerges.

That of designers confronted with obsolescence, accumulation and production methods, and that of the objects themselves, tired and disappointed by our lack of attention and consideration. But something remains, insists and resists. An opaque tension, let's call it chaos.

It is not a disorder; it is what escapes function, resists language and does not always find its place. Tout est Chaos is thus an invitation to experience objects that reintroduce desire and poetry by engaging the relationship where there was previously only function.

This is precisely where design begins. Christopher Dessus, exhibition curator
