About this audio guide
This guide to MAMCO Genève follows a person-sized pendulum swinging from the rafters of this former factory, part of a two thousand eight retrospective by artist Sylvie Fleury titled Sequins and Dependencies, or the Fascination of Nothingness. It traces how Fleury filled the raw industrial halls with the real instruments of New Age belief, color-therapy booths, aura cameras and a pendulum swung over a map to answer questions words cannot settle, after two decades collecting the objects modern life tells us to worship. Stand on the bare concrete floor of a building that took collectors twenty years of persuading before Geneva handed it over in nineteen ninety-four.
