100 S.A.M.M.M.
A monumental meditation
Following Mathilda Milik’s successful live painting performance at Boom Festival 2023, she was invited later that year to create a new work for the inaugural Music Magic Medicine Festival in Berlin. From this painting emerged the idea of producing a lithograph edition to make the work more widely accessible.
What makes this project truly unique is that each lithograph is individually enhanced, yet they can only be fully appreciated when assembled together - revealing an interconnected spiral that unites the entire composition spanning 49sqm.
19th century press, 21st century technology.
This multimedia installation titled "100 S.A.M.M.M." combines traditional lithographic printmaking with contemporary digital art and blockchain technology.
The original painting was transformed into 100 individual lithographs, printed at IDEM Paris - a historic lithography house whose 19th-century presses have printed works by Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Chagall, and many contemporary masters today. Each piece was then hand-enhanced at La Petite Briche artistic residence to create a single interlinked work comprising the entire suite.
The installation is accompanied by a soundtrack "We are the stream" composed by Sam and Nathan Waks, featuring words of Alan Watts, weaving a meditative sonic dimension into the work. From this immersive audio-visual experience, a short animation was created to extend the work's presence and appreciation into the digital realm.
