1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick

1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick takes the plunge into a wired world inspired by the cannibalistic story of pornographic actor Luka Rocco Magnotta, arrested after killing and dismembering his boyfriend while creating a snuff movie to be uploaded to the dark web.

The on-site installation by Clémence de La Tour du Pin and Antoine Renard traces a cracked nuptial narrative, underlining the morbid attraction to gore in opposition to our extreme disgust at such a scene. The kinky environment re-created by the two artists reflects the cryptic virtual realm of online gaming, its dark spaces of excess entertainment and constant transformation. A collapsed consciousness drawn into its limbs.
