Analog Collapse - Installation - 2023
présentée dans le cadre de l'exposition Panorama 25
Installation
The project questions the industrial decline of the Kodak company in the 2000s, after the advent of digital technologies.
It takes as its starting point the year 2007, marked by the industrial collapse of the brand and the release of the first iPhone, launched by Apple a few months earlier.
The installation combines an immersive film shot in a former Kodak factory with obsolete iPhone screens used as supports for photographs.
By exploring the ruins generated by technical developments, the project invites us to reflect on the materiality of image technologies and their inclusion in an industrial model based on the notions of progress and obsolescence.
