A black attaché-case, identical to those used by undercover secret agents, contains a series of instruments that refer to the temporal nature of setting up exhibitions. Added to this toolbox is an instruction leaflet made up of the verbal obligations such as they appear in installation certificates.

The full panoply enables either the artist, the head technician or the gallery director to carry out, or not, a certain number of simple and characteristic actions : open a toolbox, drill a hole, draw a line with a cord, place the title of the work, etc... Each of these interventions constitutes a sort of microscopic installation playing with formal authority and the redistribution of artistic actions.
