JOOJ

This sculpture is composed of two butcher’s blocks. Fayçal Baghriche draws our attention to the gestures that fashion this everyday item not only in freeing them from their specific usage but also by inscribing the users’ identity in the items. The mirror layout of two thick wood masses worn by their usage create a new form: an ondulated surface whose centre the two distinct items seem to commune. The wood holds the traces of its history but also resembles a fossilized matter from another geological age.
