In Unplugging , Maxence Landon merges two powerful symbols: death and energy. This realistic-looking skull rests on a plate, extended by a power cord that winds up to a socket. The allegory is striking: modern man, connected to an external energy source, questions our dependence on technology and the connected world. By pulling the plug, what remains? Matter? Silence? Emptiness?
With this darkly patinated bronze sculpture, the artist questions the boundary between life and machine, existence and extinction, in a sober and brutal aesthetic. Unplugging is a contemporary vanitas, an electric memento mori that reminds us that disconnection can also be a deliverance or a definitive loss.
