Already Made is of course a direct reference to the ready made objects Marcel Duchamp defined as “an everyday object promoted to objet d’art by the artist’s choice.” Objects which in theory are harmless and of no value, Gaëtan Bulourde uses them in his own way, amusing himself by hijacking them and making them into performance vehicles. In this creation, the object of the performance is the performance itself. The “already performance” thus becomes the vocabulary for a project mocking itself.
