For L.F.D.A. 02.At the heart of La Force de l’Art 02, Fabrice Hyber has installed a “Pof Shop”, using different retail techniques to present a series of his pofs – Prototypes d’Objets en Fonctionnement (“Prototype Functioning Objects”) – along with instructions enabling the public to create their own pofs, in turn. Glamour performance artist Élian Lille / Éliane Pine Carringthon will be on hand in this alternative boutique, selling and vaunting the possibilities of sustainable development. Fabrice Hyber’s pofs, created since 1991, are objects designed to induce and generate new behaviours by virtue of their form. For example the pof n°1, created in 1991, is an object entitled Touch carpet ; the pof n°87, entitled Oto, is a “double-edged car”, and the pof n°65 is a square ball. This displacement of the original function of familiar objects aims to blur our perception of forms and time, disrupting our consciousness and leading us to perform absurd, gratuitous gestures. By using the pofs, our automatic actions become choreographic movements. The public is invited to test the pofs. Fabrice HyberFabrice Hyber, like the image of the enormous 22-tonne soap bar moulded into lorry dumpster that he had made in 1991, likes to slip into every area of knowledge and action, disseminating his ideas and watching them "grow" in the form of hybrid objects. His work, that he assimilates to a rhizomic organism, absorbs the components of daily life (media, consumer products, pastimes), before delivering them up in new shapes, transformed and diverted from their original function. [V. Th.] Fabrice Hyber was born in 1961 in Luçon.
