Consisting of a wobbly washhouse, as if removed from its environment, the piece is placed on the ground. One can feel the salt and the algae which compose it. A formation of hot ice and cold ice were deposited within the washhouse.
Crocodiles covered with gems is a piece that is composed of a washbasin made of mortar; an upside down limestone container - which will therefore allow the absorption of water; a complementary piece made of serpentine; algae and stagnant water.
The limestone is cut into an oval shape to hold the elements deposited in the ice. The serpentine will not be separated from the limestone, the stones fit together. The interior of the serpentine is smoothed by water sanding and its exterior is rough. The cut gives us a view of the interior. As time goes by, we can see the cold ice that the limestone absorbs disappear and discover the hot ice that gives the impression of an ice that does not melt anymore.
A sound piece from the stagnant water and the reaction between the hot ice and the cold ice is audible and harmonized with the help of operator.
