Hecomi are everywhere, on roads, exterior or interior walls, floors, corridors, and ceilings. If I find one amongst them that I like, I will transfer its outline onto transparent film. I can then use PVC to create a positive – a flat object that fits directly into the actual crack. It is a dramatic moment when this unique key tightly fits in the keyhole with a click. By filling in the previously empty space, its shape stands out and sometimes I wonder about the stories of those lost pieces.
Note: The plates are highly compressed and hardened PVC made from recycled materials.
