After two chapters in Berlin, Chewing Gum in the Motherboard lands in Paris.
A motherboard cracks.
We press gum into the circuit.
The exhibition explores repair as a cultural gesture — fragile, improvised and collective. The motherboard becomes a metaphor for origin and infrastructure; the chewing gum a symbol of naïve yet stubborn resilience. Between glitch and care, collapse and invention, the works navigate life shaped by hyper-connectivity, DIY survival, underground culture and systemic instability. The layered in-between spaces utopia where failure is the method and softness is the resistance.
