Dear M.
Delphine Coindet conceives her works with a computer-assisted design programme, then turns to specialized artisans to make them. She considers her productions, which are formally rather purified, as “potentialities”, or machine capable of producing “relations”. Thus, she places the viewer in the position of author, adopting a point of view close to that of Jacques Derrida who suggested, in his 1967 publication Of Grammatology, that a literary work, once printed, is endowed with perpetual and increased meaning by a community of readers. Dear M., the title of which is an anagram of the word “dream”, can refer equally to a mirror, movement, machine, manipulation, motor, or even metal, a structural element of contemporary dreams and nightmares.
