= contemporary archaeological still lives or tranquil scenes of daily life at the end of the twentieth century that recall the Duchampian tradition of the readymade
There are the Compositions or Compositions Trouvées, which, as the names suggests, are compositions of various objects found in reality. These contemporary archaeological still lifes are related to large installations in the same way that sketches relate to a large painting. They have the form of a polling booth, a showcase or shelving in a shop, but then without everyday connotations.
