Prelude
2025
Prelude takes the form of a series of illuminated flowers. Commemorative lights are a recurring motif in Mascini’s practice, offering a way to draw close attention to the source of the energy driving these lights or the transience of its glow. It is reinforced here by the living element of the flowers, which, throughout the duration of exhibition, mature, wither, and are eventually replaced by fresh flowers. This process of bloom and decay is accentuated as it gradually changes the color of the light in the space.
This installation premiered, marking the entrance of the solo exhibition Le monde est un verbe at Capc in Bordeaux between March-September 2025. Where it introduced the core research of Mascini’s practice: making tangible the electricity that invisibly shapes our reality and poetically exploring the thoughtful interrelationships between the living world and our technological infrastructures.
