Ornamentum Libitum

ORNAMENTUM LIBITUM invites seven artists, architects or designers (to produce a trinket using the technique of 3D printing. Whether they are memories, miniatures, fragments of reality, dispensable objects or mere curiosities, trinkets are both intimate and cumbersome monuments.Intimate in terms ofthe value that we project upon them and cumbersome when the material and space theyconsume is considered in relation to their usefulness.

These household ornaments whose « value (...) does not stalk about with a label describingwhat it is »* are the pretext for a reflection on the status of the object, its environment andits autonomy, but also on the potential of 3D printing through an exploration of the detailingthat this technique allows and the production line it modifies.
