Resulting from several years of collaboration with artisans from the Guerrero, southern Mexico, “Nécrocéan” have been specially designed for the exhibition in Le Havre. Rescued from the garbage cans and scrap heaps of Mexico City, tires, chairs and plastic bottles are meticulously reproduced using the pre-Hispanic technique of sculpting semi-precious stones, such as white onyx, which dominates this new production with its ghostly yet smooth appearance. With the portmanteau word “Necrocean”, the artist tells the story conveyed by these objects, the traditions and cultural traces of which they are the heirs, but also the path taken by the works transported, from Veracruz to the port of Le Havre. The exhibition evokes the world of the sea as an invitation to travel, but also and above all as a space for the transfer and circulation of materials, goods, objects, values and waste – the continent we sometimes call the plastic continent. The exhibition recounts and explores the complex issue of globalization and the sea as a place of transfer, a place where everything is permitted and everything is controlled at the same time.
