Tokotoko is an augmented reality narrative game, but not only. Go on an adventure and help Hako to realize his dream among the other TokoToko. Draw objects that will come to life in the game, thanks to the camera of your phone or tablet, and will be used by the different characters.
Direction: Studio Kalank
Production: Baptiste Deneufbourg and Adrien Carta
This creation is part of the “Unlock, une sélection d’oeuvres à découvrir sur mobiles” catalog initiated by the Institut Français.

Baptiste Debombourg’s paradoxical approach is to build from chaos. Violence is not what interests the artist, but “what comes after, what is linked to human beings, capable of the worst as well as the best”. Baptiste Debombourg’s initial gesture often takes the form of destroying packaging, regular furniture or laminated glass. Sealing and then making unusual objects or environments from these discarded items is the central part of his practice as a sculptor. Torn up and dismantled, the medium, to which the artist attaches little importance, is then recreated and embellished through radical and visually powerful works that reinterpret our daily lives with irony, distance, and sometimes violence. The sculptural works examine the memory of places, modify our perception of space and our wandering conventions, demonstrating the pervasive effect of the environment on our behaviour and the ensuing narrative. His art reconciles in a plurality of gestures, bespoke and excessive, ephemeral and unchanging, trivial and sublime.
