About this artwork
Aluminum (burger casting)
Project carried out in residence at Oklahoma University, USA
Reste #2 extends the series started with Reste #1, by molding a burger — a universal symbol of consumer culture — in a durable material: aluminum.
By freezing a food item as banal as it is ephemeral, the artist questions our relationship with food, memory, and the society of the instant. This act of artificial preservation transforms the burger… into a contemporary artifact, a testament to our globalized habits and their potential absurdity. Like a modern fossil, Reste #2 confronts us with the irony of a meal that has been eternalized but is definitively unfit for consumption, crystallizing a subtle critique of overconsumption and the loss of meaning.
