Charrière’s exhibit at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2014 is linked to an earlier project, Monument – Sedimentation of Floating World (2013), for which he collected mineral samples from around the world. He mixed these with cement to cast a pillar, pinning down into a ‘concrete’ form nations and cultures. Leftover mineral samples from this project were used to make international sandpaper’, with which the artist scraped the surfaces of 13 found globes manufactured between 1890 and 2011. Charrière’s installation at the biennale, We Are All Astronauts Aboard a Little Spaceship Called Earth (2012-13), consists of these globes and the sandpapered remnants of their surfaces.
