Marc Trotereau Microsituations, 2009 Since last year designer Trotereau has been wandering the streets of London and Paris reordering found objects and adding touches to them for a project entitled Microsituations. These photographs are from London. Exploring ideas of repetition and disorder, Microsituations looks at ways of changing the feel of a city by provoking curiosity in the passerby. In making several little interventions in a neighbourhood, things that seem insignificant are suddenly put in focus and make a change to someone's everyday routine. Speed is essential to the process, to minimise the chances of the artist being noticed. The focus is on someone being touched by an unexpected arrangement of fallen leaves or junk mail that mysteriously appear on their doorstep. "I had to stop doing it for a while after I found myself arranging things everywhere I went, even at parties," says Trotereau. "Now it's a habit."
Tatichef, 2010 "“It is during a human life that an object can be beautiful. Actually, it is not strictly speaking about the beauty of the object; it is the meeting with it, between a real aspect of the world and a human gesture.” Gilbert Simondon
Inspired by Jacques Tati’s films, this stool opens its drawer when you sit on it.
