​

A motorized device that turns on itself. It consists of a motor holding a long metal bar. The metal bar supports a flag which, by gravity, follows the motor's movement. An image is created and unfolded when the bar is horizontal. The image represents a collage of pieces from the archives of the Centre de Documentations sur Haïti, la Caraïbe et les Afro-canadiens (CIDIHCA) to form a character, Diogène. (Work in progress)
