This installation explores the materiality and imprint of the digital through plaster casts of smartphones and prints that trace screen time.

The plaster moulds, solid and inert, contrast with the complexity of the objects they replicate. Stripped of their function, they become ghostly forms, closer to disappearance than preservation. Their accumulation echoes a 2017 Greenpeace study, which estimated that, on average, each of us will use twenty-nine smartphones over the course of a lifetime.

Alongside them, three prints reveal another aspect of this consumption: time spent in front of screens. Inspired by Hanne Darboven and her way of archiving time, this work draws on data collected from built-in tracking applications. The figures, frozen on paper, form a raw cartography of attention : a series of durations that become traces of scattered focus, fragments of our everyday digital engagement.

By bringing together these casts and inscriptions, the installation attempts to archive the ephemeral to give form to what usually escapes us. The phone becomes a spectral presence, a silent witness to the time consumed by our screens.
