Terres enchaînées is a 4 × 2-meter installation composed of hundreds of broken and obsolete smartphone screens, held together by a network of black wire. The cracks, extended by the artist’s design, become a metaphor for social fractures, wounded bodies, and the violence associated with mining.
The black screens reflect visitors as fragmented images, confronting them with their own place in the cycle of technological consumption. The work hangs in the center of the space and constrains the body’s movement and, as it moves, produces a tinkling sound of glass reminiscent of tools striking rock in mines.
Terres enchaînées builds a direct bridge between mining, high technology, social violence, and collective memory, transforming digital waste into a poetic and political memorial. The installation thus connects extraction, technology, consumption, violence, and memory.
