A zoological phenomenon unexplained until now, the “king rats” is a bundle of rats whose tails are tied up one to the other, tangled together in a sticky gangue of hairs and faeces, Like a kind of mutant matrix, it is fed by its fellow creatures, on whom its survival depends. Connection-web-contamination… It is the idea of a latent virus announcing the beginnings of a disaster. A sprawling phenomenon here treated with humour, where the medieval epidemic rubs elbows with the computer plague in a hoax way.

The art piece replays the turntable master artist’s beloved processes : boned snatches physically remixed and compiled like an unconscious puzzle.
