Non Technological Devices by Chloé Azzopardi at Centre De La Photographie Genève

The work by French photographer Chloé Azzopardi is a speculative fiction, in which the artist explores other forms of cohabitation with living beings and opens up avenues for reflection on what could be an iconography of ecological self-defence.

Overview

The ‘non-technological devices’ are composite tools made from natural elements gathered and assembled to mimic the technological objects that populate our daily lives. Between rudimentary productions and science fiction creations, these artefacts are as much extensions of the body as they are hindrances. Combined with invented objects whose uses remain to be discovered, they create a fictional universe that acts as a mirror to our fantasies of the future. With this project, the artist seeks to create new desires and generate images that can serve as resources for our imaginations.

The exhibition is curated by Aline Bovard Rudaz and Danaé Panchaud.
