Rincebook is the result of an experiment testifying to the waste of time flirting on social networks like Facebook. Presented under the title 30 days, never offline, Stéfanie Tremblay tells through this book the banal gestures and the insignificant reflections of her daily life in front of a computer screen. Cloistered for a month within four walls, she questions her strange "addiction" to voyeurism or her interest in a new ephemeral statuary poetry. Instead of displaying her states of mind to the general public, the artist uses Rincebook as a diary setting a singular aesthetic language where drawings, archives and photos are displayed. A little story of blackheads, of the search for potential lovers and/or linguistic speed exercises without punctuation... Lies, comments, publications, isolation and confessed pathos testify to the dark side of facebook.
