The first monograph dedicated to the work of Micha\u00ebl Sellam, which is at the crossroads of sculpture, photography, video and music. Here, it brings together, among other things, fruits, flowers, parallel universes, smoke, microscopic hieroglyphs, an Italian grandmother, traces of lipstick, masters of darkness, some robots, aliens, the making of Egyptian ropes, the inhalation of parasitic odors from the solar system, the intensive programming of an extremely slow machine and the 180\u00b0 head turn.

\u00abNotre civilisation se d\u00e9veloppe dans une logique de la contingence, de la possibilit\u00e9 pour chaque chose d’\u00eatre tout autre. Comment la notion de mati\u00e8re s’est ouverte \u00e0 une \u00e9conomie et \u00e0 une pens\u00e9e de la forme \u00e0 un moment o\u00f9 tout devient programmable? Exp\u00e9rimenter \u00e0 travers l’art les relations de tensions entre science, fiction, culture et capital d\u00e9veloppe, de fait, un certain artifice. Il est peut-\u00eatre n\u00e9cessaire de produire une nouvelle esth\u00e9tique qui ne soit ni repr\u00e9sentative, ni abstraite, ni conditionnelle, mais constitutive d’une \u00e9poque o\u00f9, plus qu’\u00e0 toute autre, nous construisons un monde qui inclut comme possible notre disparition et ou coexistent les formes chaotiques et ordonn\u00e9es de la circulation: des id\u00e9es, des formes, des atomes, des \u00e9nergies, des g\u00e8nes, de l’information.\u00bb

Texts by G\u00e9rard Berr\u00e9by, Beno\u00eet Durandin, Christian Gaussen, L\u00e6titia Paviani; interview with Timoth\u00e9e Chaillou. Published on the occasion of Micha\u00ebl Sellam’s exhibition at the \u00c9cole Sup\u00e9rieure des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier Agglom\u00e9ration, from January to February 2014.

The work of Micha\u00ebl Sellam (born in 1975 in Paris) multiplies the references to the world of popular leisure with a particular interest in amateur practices and forms of sub and counter-culture. Belonging to a generation that has integrated the use of computers and new technologies, he relies on these technical instruments and questions, through a complex and varied approach, forms that unfold from installation to video, from sculpture to performance.
