Between a cabinet of curiosity and an explorer's lair, Sarkis' workshop is the size of this artist whose incredible staging made of ethnographic objects, video, electric or sound installations, watercolors, photographs, stained glass windows and films feed on references to philosophy, religion, politics and the history of humanity. His large hangar in Villejuif (Val-de-Marne) at the end of a dead end, with its funny weather vanes at the entrance that he designed and had a Norman blacksmith made, is above all a place of contemplation. You have to enter it religiously on tiptoe, so as not to disturb the thousands of objects that inhabit it. In the twilight, it's impossible to discover them all, there are so many everywhere. Only Sarkis knows each one of them, knows where they are hidden, having placed them there himself, in every nook and cranny, with special attention.
