Pascale Martine Tayou
Private Collection
As “Monument“, Pascale-Marthine Tayou proposes an anachronistic vision. Through the misappropriation of everyday objects, his “private collection” turns us into visitors of the future. The future may try to understand our lives and thoughts from our remains, what we will have passed on and what they may find by mistake.
