ABSTRACT={From the starting point of the cyborg as a theoretical construction by philosopher Donna Haraway, this article aims at reframing patients with ceramic bone prosthetics and coral artificially grown on ceramic structures as « ceramic cyborgs », showing a deep intrication between the body and ceramics. The idea of « faire corps » (body making) with ceramics is not just a medical reality. It can also lend itself to different understandings, as shown in the Formes vivantes (« Living forms ») exhibition. Thanks to several artworks showcased in this exhibition, the article explores the possible genealogy of the « ceramic cyborg » as a theoretical construction, which underlines the multiplicity and the political aspects of the relationship between body and ceramics.}}
