If a Token Could Speak (2023), video projection, hologram mounted on wood, website.
[A video is projected on a rectangle wood panel placed at an angle in the corner of a dark room. The video shows an animated character facing us, and the background shows the POV of someone walking in the streets of New York. In the window of the gallery, a hologram mounted on a white pedestal shows a video where the characters of the video are shown in rotation, one after the other.]

The NFT departs from the traditional structure of the exhibition, which is often defined by a future (announcement of the exhibition), a present (opening), and a past (archive). Instead, the work, its archive, and its sale are flattened into a single experience. The NFT serves as an archive, and it is this archive that is sold on blockchain markets. The works in the exhibition question the status of the collectible object. In the video projection, an NFT celebrates the neoliberal tour de force of the blockchain, allowing any low-quality image, downloaded, shared, and reformatted a hundred times, to gain the same value as a rare work of art. A holographic video in the window serves as is an auction catalog, where all the elements of the exhibition at have been registered on the blockchain as NFTs: the various stages of creation, the animated characters of the video, the press release, and the exhibition documentation have all been given individual value and sold at auction.
