Makassar ebony, corozo, boxwood, olive wood… These are some of the types of wood that make up the buttons produced by the Compagnie Française du Bouton, a small Pantin-based company that has been handcrafting buttons for major luxury brands for 50 years. These materials, already transformed into manufactured objects, were taken up by the artist Sara Favriau, in residence at the company, to rethink her sculptor’s gestures on a micro-scale. Unlike a ready-made, the artist imagined a set of "fetishes," gradually erasing the original function of these transformed objects in favor of an organic return.
