Artefact 11 by Lionel Jadot

Layers of cardboard, hardened with resin, are fossilized into something that looks older than it is, already carrying the weight of history. Steel holds it upright, as if displayed in a museum of tomorrow. Chains and beads hang from it like relics, suspended between ornament and ritual. Every material carries its own story. Cardboard once carried goods. Resin freezes time. Steel carries the force of construction. Together they form a fiction of survival, an artefact that questions what remains when culture is stripped to fragments. This object is not nostalgic. It is speculative. It asks you to consider the present as tomorrow’s ruin, and the ruin as a beginning.
