Désordre Sculpture

“Disorder,” he muttered, staring at the tangled steel before us. “Déesordre.” That’s the name of this sculpture. Jeanne Susplugas’s Déesordre. It’s more than just twisted metal. It’s a statement. A question. A reflection of our inner chaos projected onto the world. The Déesordre Sculpture was part of a two-chapter exhibition. The first chapter, “Disorder in the House,” premiered here in Marseille in 2019. Then it moved to Istres for chapter two. The Château de Servières and the Centre d’Art Contemporain Intercommunal de Istres co-produced the exhibitions. Curators Martine Robin and Catherine Soria brought Susplugas’s vision to life. They created a space for us to confront not just the art, but ourselves. Susplugas’s work delves into identity, intimacy, addiction, and societal distortions. The Déesordre Sculpture isn’t just a random arrangement of steel beams. It’s a carefully constructed labyrinth. A physical representation of the labyrinth in our minds. It asks us to consider our place in society. Our place within the intimate space of our own homes. The connection between our bodies and the objects around us. It’s unsettling. It’s meant to be. The Déesordre Sculpture evokes a sense of confinement. Of being trapped in our own routines, fears, and habits. It’s a mirror reflecting our inner “disorder” back at us. Look at the steel. Twisted, turned, reaching out yet seemingly trapped. Does it remind you of anything? A thought? A feeling? An experience? The Déesordre Sculpture doesn’t offer answers. It offers a space for reflection. A chance to confront the chaos and find our own meaning within it.
