New Emotional Style was created for the exhibition L’Extime at galerie frank elbaz. A massive marble block is scored with geometric cuts and hosts a functioning industrial ice machine placed atop of it. The term “extime” (extimacy) denotates how even our most intimate feelings can be strange and foreign to us: forms become something other than themselves, mineralogical blocks ingesting machines of artificial refrigeration. Sarcevic’s work explores the technoid fascination of our society today while offering an unsettling relic of a future in which bodies and machines commune with an intimacy so odd that it becomes an extimacy.
