A sculptural translation of a peculiar text of Jacques dedicated to the Dragon constellation: in an erratic tempo names of mountains are intertwined to weaving techniques, dragon etymology to digging machines and finally to the Omphalos, a stone carved with a textile pattern found in Delphi representing the origin of the world. The resulting installation of tangled earth, woven stones and elements of the archive into a loom structure allow the viewer to dive into an absurd yet poetical connection between matter and meaning.
