Un coup de dés
jamais n'abolira
le hasard
(2019)
The poem Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard (A throw of the dice with never abolish chance)
by Stéphane Mallarmé spans over twenty pages, and is written in eight typefaces. It is one of the earliest free-verse poems, using the full space of the double spread, describing multiple simultaneous realities of a shipwreck. However, the events taking place within the poem become irrelevant, as the poem acts as a metaphor exploring the notion of simultaneity in space and time,
allowing for multiple interpretations.
The site of the double spread and my room are submerged in this installation recreating the shipwreck through three paralleled realities: the 'real', the digital (rendered), and the manufactured (scale model).

1:20 model of room, 280 x 195 x 500 mm, plaster, steel, PLA, perspex, and plastic
