This book project was developed around a common object that aroused various thoughts in me. Gloves for workers "made in China" found in packages in all hardware stores. As a result of globalisation, everything is manufactured at lower cost in China to the detriment of local workers. The object becomes contradictory: workers' gloves (made in China) versus unemployed people here.
These one hundred and fifty rabbits were made at a rate of about one a day. In addition to what has been written about my motivation, something new has emerged. Unconsciously, the rabbit made on a particular day reveals something about my state at that moment, about my view of the world. Logbook.
This publication is not a catalogue, but an object where images and words will intertwine, not without shocks, where particular care is given to the way of "giving to see". Never forget that these rabbits are in a way mutilated. Underneath a candid, naive and sweet appearance, fingers had to be cut off (those of the gloves), sewn and mended (which is reminiscent of certain working conditions in factories).
These teddy bears are scarred rabbits. The words will be all the sharper for it. Stories to be pulled by the ears!
