Fortunes

It is the act of naming it – grigri, lucky charm, amulet or a fetish – which gives the object a tailored power, at individual scale. Its function therefore manufactured escapes from the useful, to what is necessary.
In this object, we develop a freedom space, to be the only one in believing it.
Therefore, it protects, brings good luck, strengthens, removes the illness, and all of that in a hypothetical way.
Fortunes produces an horizontal and public image of confidential use, internal but collective. It questions the superstitions, the balance of values between object and belief and its varied constructions.
