FABIEN GIRAUD & RAPHAËL SIBONI
THE EVERTED CAPITAL (KATABASIS)

For 10 years now, Fabien Giraud and Raphaël Siboni have been producing a protean body of work whose films, performances and sculptures present alternative hypotheses about our past and future as opportunities to transform ourselves in the present.

In 2014, in a first monographic exhibition at Casino Luxembourg, the artists presented the first three episodes of season 1 of the long- term series: The Unmanned. Four years later, in 2018, the exhibition 2045–1542 (A History of Computation) revisited the entirety of season 1 in an installation composed of eight videos tracing a subjective history of computing in reverse. Now, in 2022, the artists are taking over the Casino spaces for a third time to present all of the films and sculptures that comprise seasons 2 and 3 of the project: The Everted Capital and The Form of Not. This new cycle, conceived as a performative speculation on the future of value, attempts to produce, through each episode and its working protocols, a fictional alternative to the history of capital.
