Archive of a wander through the Museum of Automata
Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
An archive of a Wander through the Museum of Automata, Lyon, before its closure in 2022.
Among the ticking gears and rehearsed gestures, a choreography of mechanisms unfolds — echoes of human rhythm, routine, and repetition.
Each automaton moves with precision, yet without pulse. Their silent labor mirrors our own patterns, written like a musical score of society.
A dance of cold bodies, turning endlessly, until the movement stops.
Recorded by Florent Picollet.
