"BREAKER" is a sculpture / sound installation presented at the exhibition
MOTHERSHIP UNION Michael Sellam, in October 2010. It is located within the School of Architecture of Nantes, in the context of HEART OR THE ART IN THE HEART OF THE TERRITORY, organized by ELIA (European League og Institute of Art).
"... the interference of Matthew Crimersmois returns to a more disturbing and
animal. The Spider, exiled and isolated on the second floor, is as at odds with the surrounding architecture
transparent, contrasting it with its dark and materiality dissenting
inspired Afro-futurist like sculpture of Mr. Sellam. ;
It consists of vinyl records
thermoformed, soft as the body of the spider whose heart beats are suggested, even that of
the position of passive self-defense. A built-in webcam (the eye of the beast?) Introduces a form of interactivity
since perceives the movement of visitors, according to which it deploys
sounds.
Enlarged, as a thought to the human scale, she returns the image of a
part of ourselves that we have forgotten and which we fear (as in "The
Metamorphosis" by Kafka, or "The Fly" by D. Cronenberg ... ). It causes a return of the repressed
revealing its pristine nature, inaccessible to civilization. Disgusting, but fascinating
, fantastic, it is beyond the scope smooth often associated with new technologies. "

This piece is futuristic and has imagination. It is steeped in the atmosphere of science fiction in which the presence of insect or spider "alien" is often pervasive. The LPs are thermo-formed to represent the globe, between the shell of an "alien" and a flying saucer. Its name recalls a dance HIP HOP. As Mothership is the title of a disc Afro-futurist (Parliamenti), which will give life to this culture. (Movement from guettos black Americans).
The legs are hinged and designed to be read heads which are also the claws of the beast. The arachnid apparently in self-defense passive (techique that spiders use to simulate the death against their predator).
