ORANGE MONEY / 12 bronze oranges / 2023
Following a residency in Senegal this project consists of a video and
small bronze sculptures. The video documents orange vendors in the
streets of Dakar meticulously peeling the fruit. The multiple sequences
focus on this gesture: a tension appears between the roundness of
the orange, the delicacy of its skin and the sharp steel of the knife.
The spherical sculptures made of bronze were created from the same
peeled oranges. 10% of the price of each sculpture sold will be sent
to each seller filmed, echoing the former 10% retained by the French
company “Orange Money” (mobile payment system in Africa).
