In Sigils, a speculative archeology takes place in an abandoned metal factory. Industrial blueprints gathered on the spot as well as exchanges between engineers and commercials, clients and operators host new fictions where obsolescence sets up a magical dimension. From those clues and artefacts, several videographic and plastic objects are conceived: aluminum sheets laser-engraved with magical inspired drawings, generative sounds made by converting the blueprints into audio specter, and video exploration of the place.
