In his supernova of objects, Alain Biet gives the spotted surrealist screw one more turn with a drawn screwdriver. Deceptively real ink drawings of mundane mass products merge into jolly, large formations. Pincers, pliers and screwdrivers perform an obsessive Busby Berkeley show of symmetrically choreographed individualists, delivering, in passing, an ethnographic study of the world of still tangible consumerism.
