Created in 2011, part of the micro-series of experiments with mobile phones — a body of works almost unknown and produced in very limited quantities, 8/10 at most. He used his personal phones.
Aubertin uses a first-generation Nokia phone, subjected to controlled combustion: the fused surfaces, material deformations, and scorch marks become visual and sculptural elements, perfectly aligned with the artist's distinctive language.

The phone is mounted on a dark red background, an iconic color in Aubertin's practice, and enclosed in a black display case that enhances its three-dimensional presence. The work measures 45 × 35 cm and is ready to be displayed.

These experiments with phones are almost impossible to find: Aubertin produced only a few specimens, making this piece one of the most sought-after works among ZERO movement collectors and enthusiasts of combustion art.
A unique work, of museum quality — ideal as an investment and a notable addition to any contemporary art collection.
