A compass determines our mechanized routines, with no room for lack of rigor in the traces of our existence. (Des)compasso is an invitation to nonconformism, to a deviation metaphorically marked by the deconstruction of this instrument that is part of our experiences and our projects at a time when drawing emerged from our hands and our thinking without filters. Rescued objects arouse feelings. I continue to see the world through the drawing that our hands scratch on the paper. Because Drawing is at the origin of the projects, of things, of the material and the immaterial, it therefore continues to constitute itself as an exercise in finding some order within chaos. This assemblage is a tribute to analogue drawing and the instruments that were part of this learning. Positive and negative memories can be evoked, they are an inevitable part of the drawing as experience. It is a dialogue with objects from the past.
