La théorie de la connaissance, alliée à celle du Capital, trouve à s’exprimer dans l’œuvre de fleuryfontaine à travers la métaphore de la liquidité, fantasme partagé par les adolescents, les ingénieurs et les prédicateurs, d’un monde sans pertes et sans frontières sans cesse régénéré. »
— Alexis Jakubowicz, Commisaire d’exposition.
« Much like the cat bones arranged like instruments (Collection, 2014) or the taxidermied insects modeled after Conway’s early cellular automata, fleuryfontaine apply classification methods inherited from Cartesianism, positivism, and computing to every form of life and thought, whether organic or social. Assembled like an IKEA child’s bedroom, the installation they present at Montrouge takes the form of a stage set within the aisles of the Salon. This relationship with the artificial is linked, in the artists’ work, to the imposition of order—applied as much to bodies as to information. This is evidenced by the paraffin beds, brought together under the title Everyone belongs to everyone else (2015), which synthesize a reflection on social engineering, the transition from solid discipline to the control of flows, and the colonization of sleep by labor.
The theory of knowledge, allied with that of Capital, finds expression in fleuryfontaine’s work through the metaphor of liquidity—a fantasy shared by adolescents, engineers, and preachers alike: a world without loss or borders, endlessly regenerated. »
