BLIND TASTY

Price On Request

Florence Doléac

Blind tasty

2006

Chocolate and various cakes

“ Blind tasty “ is presented as a tasting game: four different pastry flavours, shrewdly concocted, are hidden in 16 hollow chocolate balls rolling around inside a half-mould designed for the table, also made of chocolate.

Florence Doléac with Jérôme and Nathalie Alamigeon, pastries Alexandres for the exhibition « Bouchée Double », La cuisine Montauban, summer 2006.

Florence Doléac sets her work in an interstitial space where design hobnobs with art, and where presentation and production methods waver between a system that is both commercial and institutional. The fact that she lays claim to this not very common stance endows her with a specific identity. The fact is that not only does Florence Doléac introduce a tension between production and exhibition, with answers that brim with wit and poetry, but she also develops a line of questioning about function and its contrasting counterpart: uselessness. Her proposals and ideas sidestep established codes in order to upset the way we usually perceive things; she intercepts our gestures by putting a finger on their limits. The incongruousness of the various situations thus created refers us to our own imagination, thus lightening a reality that is far too straitjacketed.
