About
'd’os et de sorts' is Myriam Perrot’s latest ceramic work, presented for the first time as a tactile sound installation in collaboration with sound artist Jamie Thomas. The installation is composed of hundreds of porcelain bones in reference to the cultural practice of casting lots. In between still life and archeological findings, bone arrangements act as a witness of past attempts to cope with the uncertainty of the future. Both sensory and reactive, the installation invites the visitor into an act of contemplation and action, left alone to decipher the various existing combinations or act upon through re-arranging them anew.Myriam Perrot is a French-Swiss artist and anthropologist with original training in set design. Her multidisciplinary engagement consistently informs her work, often convoking the exploration of a threshold found between rationalised spaces and imaginary worlds.
