Doors, keys masks, empty rooms—objects spinning endlessly, 
fragments of an unknown dream or mysterious clues from an unsolvable puzzle. 
Their repetitive motion suggests a hidden logic, yet the clearer these images become, 
the deeper the mystery grows, leaving us suspended between reality and illusion, 
presence and disappearance, revelation and uncertainty. 

In a crescendo of visual hints and sonic traces, Objet d’énigme plays with thriller tropes 
to depict homes as a dense space in which the memory of murder can be surmised in every frame. 
Using lo-fi scans of domestic spaces, Objet d’enigme lies bare a pattern in which 
the female body is the ever-returning protagonist. Thrilling and mysterious, 
the work is a powerful take on crime scenes transcending times and geographies.
