Alice's Work
From the fall of industrial production to the fall of its value, she is interested in all the notions to which the word “fall” refers. By collecting discarded materials and giving them new contexts, she questions inert matter, its history and its temporality, weaving a parallel to the entropy of waste and our own vanities.
