For this installation, Serpas placed various discarded objects and fragments of furniture collected during her urban explorations on the floor against the walls. For her, the search for materials is the most time-consuming part of the creative process, as it only takes a few hours to combine these disparate elements together. Serpas considers this composition time as a private performance or choreography. These eighty-seven objects, which bear witness to their former life and abandonment, are combined with fifteen frames containing handwritten poems on paper. The juxtaposition of these heterogeneous elements creates a rhythm, a conversation that is brought about by the artist's hand. Beyond description, the title of the work reveals the relationship between the creator and her installation.
