Graduation project
Inert Domestic System
Célestine Peuchot
What would happen if our systems stopped? If our machines stopped? Célestine Peuchot investigates the manufacturing processes behind the objects that occupy our daily living spaces, exploring the tensions and relations between techniques and aesthetics in mass production and craft manufacturing. Through a series of machine-objects that function as elements of a fictional production chain that has inexplicably stopped, ‘Inert Domestic System’ demonstrates that artisanal and industrial manufacturing are less at odds with each other than is commonly perceived, disrupting preconceptions about how things are made and used.
