Dindin Calling Tintin
2010, Acrylic paint, white vinyl records (Bauhaus + 3 death metal),
spinning motors, electric candle, wood table
Table 42” diameter

Dindin Calling Tintin is an absurd séance mediated through four “record plates” of spaghetti made from acrylic paint, done up in “solarized” colors. Each record sits on its own portable spinning motor, and an electric candle sits in the center of the table. The noodles spell out texts that summon the spirit of the Belgian cartoon character. The dialogue goes as follow:

Tintin?
R U There?
Where’s Snowy? (Snowy is the name of Tintin’s dog)
I’m Busy.
