This paper explores how the project Compléments d’objets by Cécile Portier creates a space defined by daily life objects, from the most incongruous ones to most common of them. Among many authors of her generation, Portier seeks to give an identity to anonymous pictures and to seize the world surrounding her, starting her reflections in her private life to question the world, reality and writing. When examined through Carl Schmitt’s theory of nomos and Henri Lefebvre’s theory of production of space, Cécile Portier’s project appears to create its own space, where literature, objects and tools are equally mobilized to act on reality.
