LABORATOIRE ZAA

Why laboratoire Zaa?

Yesterday, western culture was disappearing, replaced by consumerism. Today, now that (almost) everything has been consumed, society is consuming itself. Instruction manuals have become the hieroglyphics of our time. Standardised social signage tells us how to behave, what we must think and do, how to have fun, where to look and what to look at, when we must act, pivot, bend, follow, be quiet, love, buy, venerate, encourage, adjust, transform, assemble, plug in, push, load, unscrew, articulate, block, manipulate, slide, touch, shake, press, insert, lift up, turn, blow up…

The manual says we should hear a "click" , but I heard a "crack".

A definition of laboratoire Zaa:

Laboratoire Zaa is a creative artistic experience.
It is a "potential station" which wherever it goes, invents a new approach towards the other that defies standard codes.
Its wealth of experience relies on the creation of structures that aim to break down the barriers between real and imaginary and create universes where the unknown subject is invited to take part and question his relationship with the other.
It explores relational aesthetics, focusing on different mediums (video, publications, plastic and public installations, object concepts, costumes and disguises).
It collects fragments from the diversity of life.

What for?

A break.
There comes a time when you have to turn yourself inside out and take a look at what is on the inside. Look at the being instead of the having, and the content instead of the container.
Words saturate our minds, images stifle our thoughts, they wrap around us like cellophane, the plastic sticks to your skin, creating a vacuum, becoming suffocating.
Aren't we all curiosities of amusing physiology?
We're waiting for your visit…
