MISE EN FICHES: L’EXPOSITION
Consisting, amongst other elements, of 396 index cards excerpted from LA BOÎTE UNTEL, the work proposes, displayed
on a series of shelfs, a photographic documentation for each intervention led during the group’s existence. Thogether
with these 395 cards and shelfs, the exhibition consists of an important series of archival elements, such as publications,
invitations, postcards, posters and photographs. (Cf. next page for all the elements) Coming with an instruction sheet,
these elements provide an UNTEL retrospective, creating an “exhibition kit” the same way you can have a furniture kit.
Dimension of the installation: variable

Faits divers
44 photographs, plastification
This work gathers 44 photographs of the group’s interventions, creating a iconographic memory of UNTEL’s work. Each
photograph reveals a note saying “Fait divers“ on the back and the title and the date of the action. Through this work,
UNTEL tells its own story. UNTEL documents its own artistic activity and applies to himself the recurring modus operandi
of their work: documenting, archiving, and describing the everyday experiences.
